It’s been 60 years since Disney's classic musical Mary Poppins hit theaters, and Dick Van Dyke can fondly look back on the memories from filming one of the Oscar-winning classic.
In Mary Poppins, Van Dyke played chimney sweep Bert , opposite Andrews’ titular role as a magical nanny.”I'm telling you what I had doing the recording. She not only is a soprano, she sang just a hair on top of the note,' he added of recording the movie’s famous soundtrack. ' just that little bit sharp, and I sing flat,” Van Dyke said. 'I'm actually a bass, but I had to sing.'Mary Poppins earned universal acclaim, and was nominated for Best Picture at the 1965 Academy Awards. Though it lost to My Fair Lady, Andrews, 88, won Best Actress and the film won in four other categories, including Best Song .In 2006, the movie placed No. 6 on the American Film Institute’s greatest movie musicals list.
'I'd never made a movie before, and I'd given birth to my lovely daughter Emma nearly six weeks earlier, and I quickly realized that I had better pull my socks up and get in shape,' she said. 'I found it pretty daunting, I can tell you. Dick could not have been kinder, more genuinely sweet and helpful. I like to think that we did bond instantly.'
