 Anxieties of Gender and Class in "Mary Poppins"
Banks' transformation from a middle-class mother into a well-off suffragette is not, however, simply a matter of adapting to the cinematic medium.
"Sister Suffragette" is a satirical spoof on Mrs.
Flighty and over-dramatic, she is so wrapped up in the drama of suffragette protests that she doesn't see what is going on in her own household and repeatedly cuts off Katie Nanna, the exasperated nanny.

 SPLICEDwire | "The Winslow Boy" review (1999)
Rebecca Pidgeon (Mamet's real-life wife) plays the boy's suffragette sister, whose feckless fiance skedaddles when the case becomes a scandal.
He depends on the brilliantly vivid and intricate recounting of courtroom observers (the sister mostly) to tell the story of the trial, while the focus stays on its effects on the family through their conscious and unconscious reactions.
He also leaves the boy's actual innocence indirectly in question, as the father continues the fight even though his son is doing fine at a new school and life would quickly return to normal if he would just drop it.

 Mrs. Banks
My sister just got cast, but she hasn't seen the script so neither of us knows too much about it.
Sister Suffragette is not in the London/Broadway version, just the movie.
And I dont think even at silly youth and camp productions that people should be cast as characters when they've not bothered to find out anything about the character.

When my daughter was 4 years old, she asked, “Mommy, what is a suffragette?” Stunned that she even knew the term, she cleared that up by saying she heard it on Mary Poppins.
It bummed me out to tell my little girl that women used to not be able to vote, but she seemed not at all fazed when I gently broke the news.
Although the suffragette movement had been going on for decades, it was when we engaged in World War I that many women in this country started to wonder why in the heck we were fighting so hard for democracy in other countries when, oh yeah, women here couldn’t even cast a ballot!

With its rapid pacing and reliance on fun rhymes (like shire, shire, shire, and sure), alliteration (hammy Hamlet), assonance (any hammy Hamlet), and wordplays (sea/see), it’s easy to see that both the song writers and filmmakers were having a blast, and so do we.
Sister Suffragette (Mary Poppins, 1964)--Often forgotten in the shuffle of the brilliant Jolly Holiday, Chim-Chim-Cheree, Step in Time, Supercalifragilisticexpialodocious, and many other great songs, Sister Suffragette stands strongly on its own.

 Mary Poppins Widescreen Edition DVD - MovieWeb
Long resistant to film adaptations of her Mary Poppins books, P.L. Travers finally succumbed to the entreaties of Walt Disney, and the result is often considered the finest of Disney's personally supervised films.
The Travers stories are bundled together to tell the story of the Edwardian-era British Banks family: the banker father (David Tomlinson), suffragette mother (Glynis Johns), and the two "impossible" children (Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber).
The kids get the attention of their all-business father by bedevilling every new nanny in the Banks household.

 Miss Potter Movie Review - Miss Potter Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
Potter's books were published by Frederick Warne and Co. in the face of opposition from her wealthy family and after countless other firms had turned her down, and the movie does see the author as a sort of jolly feminist precursor -- a sister suffragette who talked to squirrels.
So there's that, but one immediately comes up against the fact that Potter is played by Renee Zellweger at her most alarmingly fey.
Toward the end, a case is made for Potter as an early land preservationist, buying failed farms to protect her beloved Lake District.

 village voice > film > The Winslow Boy: prosaic justice by Jessica Winter
The Winslow Boy is the unexpectedly suitable marriage of Terence Rattigan's 1946 play and David Mamet's more nettlesome tendencies as a dramatist and filmmaker.
Rattigan fictionalized the 1910 trial of an English military cadet wrongfully dismissed for stealing a postal order; this tiny incident becomes an issue of national import as young Ronnie Winslow's father, Arthur (Nigel Hawthorne), and suffragette sister, Catherine (Rebecca Pidgeon), petition the crown to clear the boy's name.
The Winslow Boy is a scrupulous play, but a static one: by mostly staying outside the courtroom and within the Winslow household—stoical, reticent Edwardian types all—the play is deliberately claustrophobic.

We had a lot of little incidences, but no reason for Mary Poppins arriving and leaving.
So we had to create a dysfunctional family — the father is so busy with work, and the mother is busy with her cause as a suffragette.
And the symbolism in "Feed the Birds" is that it doesn't take much to be kind and give a little of your self.
