George Banks: Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts.
Trivia: To celebrate the film's anniversary and release on DVD, there was a special screening of the film, at which Dick Van Dyke shared a humorous personal memory. On his way to the original premiere of the film, Dick Van Dyke's limousine ran out of gas not too far from the theater, so Dick himself got out and pushed the car to the red carpet.
Question: Does anybody know how they did the scene where Mary Poppins is doing a duet with her mirror image?
