Hollywood Goes to a World Premiere (Mary Poppins) (August 27, 1964)

This theatrical featurette was a newsreel released to advertise the original release of Mary Poppins. This historical document shows what it was like on the night of August 27. 1964 when Mary Poppins debuted at the Grauman's Chinese Theater and was a smash success. There were also live radio and television broadcasts of this very special night. Although the announcer claims this was Walt's first premiere since Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs, that's inaccurate. All of Walt's films had a gala premiere from Song of the South in Atlanta to Darby O'Gill & the Little People in Dublin.
