Mary Poppins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2593 words)
In the film, Mary Poppins' best friend is Bert, a Cockney who seems to have a number of jobs, including chimney sweep, pavement artist, etc, but otherwise is the one normal adult friend of Mary who is completely accustomed to her magic (the exact nature of their relationship is left a mystery).
Mary Poppins' character as portrayed by Andrews in the film is somewhat less vain and more sympathetic toward the children than the nanny in the original book.
Travers demanded that any suggestions of romance between Mary and Bert be eliminated, so lyrics were written for "Jolly Holiday" that clearly indicated that their friendship was purely platonic, although some subtle hints of romance remain.
