English Summary:

Saving Mr. Banks is a 2013 period drama film directed by John Lee Hancock from a screenplay written by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith. Centered on the development of the 1964 film Mary Poppins, the film stars Emma Thompson as author P. L. Travers and Tom Hanks as film producer Walt Disney, with supporting performances by Paul Giamatti, Jason Schwartzman, Bradley Whitford, and Colin Farrell. Deriving its title from the father in Travers' story, Saving Mr. Banks depicts the author's two weeks of meetings during 1961 in Los Angeles, during which Disney attempts to obtain the screen rights to her novels.

The film, set in 1961, begins in London. Agent Diarmund Russell urges financially strapped author Pamela "P. L." Travers to travel to Los Angeles and meet with Walt Disney. Disney has pursued the film rights to her Mary Poppins stories for twenty years, having promised his daughters to produce a film based on the books. Travers has steadfastly resisted Disney's efforts, fearing what he will do to her character. Having written nothing new and her book royalties dried up, she risks losing her house. Russell reminds her that Disney has agreed to two major stipulations—no animation and unprecedented script approval—before she finally agrees to go.

Flashbacks depict Travers' difficult childhood in Allora, Queensland, Australia, which became the inspiration for much of Mary Poppins. Travers idolized her loving, imaginative father, Travers Robert Goff, but his chronic alcoholism resulted in his repeated dismissals, strained her parents' marriage, and caused her distressed mother's attempted suicide. Goff died from tuberculosis when Travers was seven years old. Prior to his death, her mother's stern, practical sister came to live with the family, and later served as Travers's main inspiration for the Mary Poppins character.

Hungarian Summary:

Pamela Travers Londonban élő írónő, aki egy nagysikerű gyerekregényt írt, a Mary Poppinst. Walt Disney már 20 éve szeretné megszerezni tőle a megfilmesítésének jogait, de eddig még sosem járt sikerrel: a makacs írónő nem szívesen adná ki kezéből művét, ezért olyan feltételeket támaszt, amit nem lehet teljesíteni. Most legalább annyit sikerült elérni, hogy Pamela Travers az Egyesült Államokba utazzon, és személyesen találkozzon Walt Disney-vel, illetve a forgatókönyvet és a dalszövegeket író stábtagokkal. A hölgy kezdetben rendkívül visszahúzódóan és ellenségesen viselkedik a stúdió embereivel, de az idő múlásával egyre inkább kibontakozik, s megismerhetjük valójában mi is állt a könyv születésének hátterében.
