This is the true story of what Walt Disney (Hanks from Cloud Atlas) had to go through to convince P.L. Travers (Thompson from Sense & Sensibility) to allow him to make a movie of her character Mary Poppins. Farrell (Phone Booth) is Goff aka Banks aka Travers' father in real life. She took his first name as her last name. Giamatti (The Illusionist) is Mrs. Travers' driver while she is in California.Whitford (West Wing) plays on man on a three man team working with Mrs. Travers' to get the movie script approved. The other two are Novak (The Office) and Schwartzman (Rushmore). And last but not least Mary Poppins - in real life - is played by Griffiths (Six Feet Under). All in all, I say: SEE IT or wait and RENT IT - it was really good. There are pictures and an actually recording at the end, so stay for the credits.
