I'll have to check up the first two titles, I'm not sure I've seen either of those. We did end up seeing one with Maggie Smith, though :) Hotel MarigoldDawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-68751994377247531622014-01-01T13:30:07.152+01:002014-01-01T13:30:07.152+01:00Thanks Virginia.

Mary Poppins with Julie Andrews I do remember from my childhood. I think it may have been one of the few films my parents took us to the cinema to see. I think we may also have had a record with some of the film music. What I do recall is that we (or my wee brother - born in the early 60s) also had some kind of Mary Poppins board game that included spinning a carousel. The vague impression lingering for me is that it wasn't one of the most exciting games ever invented, but then I was 6½ years older than he. (Still am, I suppose, But as for brainy kind of games, he outsmarted me long ago...)
