Based on a book series by PL Travers’, the movie adaptation features an adorable Julie Andrews, a sweet nanny who captured the hearts of the audiences when it was released in 1964. Apart from Andrews’ stellar performance, the film has some of the most iconic songs, which add to its pop culture fame, rightly surpassing the humble book series.
