You can hardly blame her very much, though, as the story of her difficult childhood unfolds in conjunction with that of the “Mary Poppins” screenplay. In quite a disturbing sequence, young Helen Goff prevents her mother (Ruth Wilson) from committing suicide, but she can do nothing when her father disgraces their whole family with drunken behavior in a public arena, and ends up wasting away from what appears to be consumption (though Wikipedia informs me that it was actually influenza).
