 How Do You Solve a 'Problem' Like Maria von Poppins?
In such surroundings, both Mary Poppins and, later, Julie Andrews's incarnation of her in the Walt Disney film version, proved to be beacons of light at the end of a fairly dark experiential tunnel.
Julie Andrews's personification of Mary Poppins and Maria von Trapp gave the child in me panoramic insight into the self-liberating possibilities of orchestrated joy, choreographed confidence and sung spirit.
Much of what is so memorable about Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music is how each score (by the Sherman Brothers and Rodgers and Hammerstein, respectively) bears the imprint of the Andrews voice, which, by 1963 and 1964 (when the films were shot) was in full, prime bloom.

 1964 Oscar Winners
General consensus was that Andrews should have been cast as Eliza Doolittle (as she was on the stage) in the film version of My Fair Lady, which won best picture the same year in competition with Mary Poppins (AAN); but producer Jack L. Warner chose to go with the more established name of Audrey Hepburn.
Andrews was best known for her stage performances in The Boy Friend (1954), My Fair Lady (1956), and Camelot (1960), before she made her film debut as the magical nanny Mary Poppins.
When producer Jack L. Warner began assembling the cast for the film version, he first imagined Cary Grant or Rock Hudson in the role of Henry Higgins, but he was soon persuaded to retain Harrison, whose performance was so brilliant that his name became almost synonymous with the role.
