Saving
Mr. Banks Official Synopsis:
When
Travers travels from London to Hollywood in 1961 to finally discuss Disney’s
desire to bring her beloved character to the motion picture screen (a quest he
began in the 1940s as a promise to his two daughters), Disney meets a prim,
uncompromising sexagenarian not only suspect of the impresario’s concept for
the film, but a woman struggling with her own past. During her stay in
California, Travers’ reflects back on her childhood in 1906 Australia, a trying
time for her family which not only molded her aspirations to write, but one
that also inspired the characters in her 1934 book.
None
more so than the one person whom she loved and admired more than any other—her
caring father, Travers Goff, a tormented banker who, before his untimely death
that same year, instills the youngster with both affection and enlightenment
(and would be the muse for the story’s patriarch, Mr. Banks, the sole character
that the famous nanny comes to aide). While reluctant to grant Disney the
film rights, Travers comes to realize that the acclaimed Hollywood storyteller
has his own motives for wanting to make the film—which, like the author, hints
at the relationship he shared with his own father in the early 20th Century
Midwest.
