There is charm, wit and movie magic to spare in Walt Disney’s adaptation of the P.L. Travers novel about a “practically perfect” Nanny who brings lots of changes—some welcome, some not!—to the Banks family of London in 1910, which includes two irresistible youngsters named Jane and Michael. Oscars went to Julie Andrews in her film debut, and to the songwriting Sherman brothers (“Chim-Chim-Cheree”). And what a triumph for Dick Van Dyke, playing Burt the chimney sweep, who sings, dances and acts with mind-blowing relish, and who turned 100 in December.
