Comedy feel good

Glynis Johns brought a distinctively husky-voiced charm to British and Hollywood cinema across seven decades, memorably starring as the suffragette mother in Mary Poppins. In The Court Jester (1955): A cowardly former carnival entertainer infiltrates a tyrant’s castle to help restore the rightful heir to the throne. Don’t overlook The Thief of Bagdad (1940): A young thief and a deposed prince join forces to defeat an evil vizier and reclaim a stolen kingdom.
