“The Dick Van Dyke Show,” Mary Tyler Moore, and “Mary Poppins” memorabilia, flash on the screen throughout the film.
Van Dyke dances and performs some of his classic comedic movements while wearing a suit and tie but no shoes.
In several instances, his family is gathered around him, including his wife, Arlene Silver. And sometimes he becomes reflective, reflecting on love, family, and aging.
Van Dyke said, “I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me, but I’m acutely aware that I could go any day now.” “I don’t fear it.” Despite my strong opposition to all things cerebral, I feel as if I will be OK.
Van Dyke continues by saying that he considers himself fortunate to be able to “play and act silly” for a career.
