Some trivia: Arthur Malet was a noted character actor. He was known for playing older parts in films than he was. He was only 37 years old when he played Mr. Dawes Junior. He and Dick Van Dyke were only 37 and 38 years old when they played two characters much older than they are.

For me, the funniest thing about seeing Dick Van Dyke as old Mr Dawes is that we see he actually CAN do a decent attempt at an English accent, compared to his famously atrocious cockney one as Bert. Apparently, the reason his Bert accent was so terrible was that his accent coach was an Irishman who couldn't do the accent himself, so when he realised it was going to sound ridiculous anyway, he decided to just run with it and go all out.

To me it really is both a kids movie and an adult movie in my opinion. But, apparently high class parents back then treated their kids with discipline opposed to lower class parents.

@adirarotstein3595 жыл бұрын
@@JavierPerez-cx4jw I guess I'm way overthinking things here, but I think my instinct as a kid was right, those bankers WERE scary, because of the anti-humanistic message they're pedaling. It's such a beautifully crafted movie, with this song a perfect counterpoint to the Feed the Birds song. The thing is "Feed the Birds" isn't really what that song is about. The woman in front of the cathedral is homeless or at the very least extremely poor. She's selling bags of (worthless to most other people) crumbs she's collected to make a tiny bit of money. By giving a tiny bit of money to "feed the birds" they are helping feed her, a homeless woman. It's an act of charity and compassion that is instinctual-- to connect and empathisize with other people and living creatures. This is contrasted with the bankers who are encouraging the children to save their money for themselves, not so they can help more people, but so they can just have more money and own more stuff, none of which will actually bring them the feeling of human connectedness that makes life worthwhile. The whole "if you feed the birds, what have you got? Fat birds" is the sort of argument people make against welfare, charity and a social safety net, because they say it makes poor people lazy and "fat." Ironically, this is usually said by people like the junior Mr. Dawes who have had their economic status, opportunities and life position handed to them by inheritance. It ties into one of themes of the film with Mr. Banks. Mr. Banks realizes that the money and status of his job at the bank aren't worth it if he loses all connection with the people who mean the most to him in his life, his children.

There was supposed to be another step coming down from that platform where Dick stepped off, but when Walt saw Dick's imitation of an old man attempting to cross the street, he got rid of that step just so Dick could do that routine.

You know, that's a remarkably sophisticated song for a kid's film; nowadays the studio would probably force them to cut it. Also, as bad as Dick's cockney accent was, his accent here is quite good which is why people didn't even know it was him till the end of the movie. He never gets credit for that.

Interesting trivia: Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber were not told Dick Van Dyke was under all that makeup and playing Mr. Dawes, Sr.. They believed this really was an old man and were worried he was going to fall down and die at any moment. So their expressions to Mr. Dawes, Sr. on screen were genuine.

I think you meant underrated song in an overrated movie. Don't get me wrong, I love this movie. But it suffers from drawn out pacing issues that all Disney films in the late 50s/early 60s had. We just forgive it more in Mary Poppins because the score, music, and acting are so good. Similar to how the original Star Wars movies have pacing issues due to long sequences and stilted dialogue, that we forgive due to never before seen special effects at the time and great acting.

George, the Dawes and the other business men are not just trying to persuade Michael to invest his tuppence but also to join them when he is older especially how George’s father was also a banker. In those days boys in upper class families were expected to follow the same careers as their father before them.
