Dick Van Dyke Tells 'Mary Poppins' Stories

This is a fun interview with Dick Van Dyke on "Mary Poppins", especially on his take on why Walt Disney wanted him for the movie.

"He had heard me in an interview talking about what was happening to family entertainment," says Van Dyke in a phone interview, still amused by the memory. "I was decrying the fact that it seemed like no holds were barred anymore in entertainment. ... That's why he called me in, because I said something he agreed with."


There are a lot of gems like that in the interview.
