"Saving Mr. Banks" is a biopic comedy drama film directed by John Lee Hancock and written by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith. One day Walt Disney gave a promise to his daughter that he would make a film based on her favourite book - "Mary Poppins" by P.L. Travers. But he didn't even suppose that idea would take twenty years. Disney had been confronted by many difficulties with the screen version before in 1961 a hard-edged author arrived in Los Angeles from Great Britain. However, problems didn't end -  P.L. Travers inserted lots of amendments, the business magnate wasn't able to do anything. It seemed like that screen version would stay just a dream.
