Editorial Reviews

Hollywood magic has rarely worked as well as it did in MGM's adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic children's novel. This fairy tale about a Kansas farm girl who is swept by a tornado into the land of the Munchkins has burned itself into the collective consciousness of generations of moviegoers. By today's standards, the special effects look primitive, but when Dorothy (Judy Garland) steps out of monochromatic Kansas into the Technicolor splendor of Oz, the moment still invokes wonder. And the songs, especially the Academy Award-winning "Over the Rainbow," remain infectious. As the Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman, and Cowardly Lion, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lahr, respectively, bring humor and humanity to their make-believe characters, while the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) remains among the screen's scariest villains. Finally, though, it is the emotional truthfulness of Judy Garland's performance, infused with all the yearnings of adolescence, that makes The Wizard of Oz a masterpiece.

July 10, 2007: Probably not much. With the dozens of antidotes that surround the the production of this time treasured movie the production work is well documented except for maybe one. Many Historians of this movie forget that even with the more current restoration of two songs from this this well written movie there is still one last song that may never be seen - not because it was politically incorrect but because it was cut and has never been seen again. What production piece is this? Why it is the Jitterbug scene which takes place in the forest of the Wicked Witch. If you do not believe me ... watch for the scene just after the Dorothy and friends leave Oz and are in the Woods ... and ... just before the attack of the flying monkeys. Ask your self WHY is the Scarecrow on the ground??? and that is the end point of the lost Jitterbug scene. Even with this lost scene the movie still has remarkable saying power ... may it last forever!

October 27, 2006: The Wizard of Oz, a surreal and timeless production, is one of the most well known classics known to mankind. Dorothy, a small town Kansas farm girl, shows that wishes may really come true as she’s sent through a tornado into a land of munchkins, witches, tin men, and talking apple trees. She steps from a world lacking color and satisfaction into a land full of iridescent wonder with the drop of her house. Dorothy then wanders through this land, in crimson shoes, on a journey towards Emerald City to find her way back home. When it comes to this film it doesn’t matter what generation you come from. It’s for everybody. The Wizard of Oz frees people’s imaginations and allows them to predict what happens next. I would recommend this movie to anyone who would enjoy a classic tale of personification and wonder.

All Movie Guide

The third and definitive film adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's fantasy, this musical adventure is a genuine family classic that made Judy Garland a star for her heartfelt performance as Dorothy Gale, an orphaned young girl unhappy with her drab black-and-white existence on her aunt and uncle's dusty Kansas farm. Dorothy yearns to travel "over the rainbow" to a different world, and she gets her wish when a tornado whisks her and her little dog, Toto, to the Technicolorful land of Oz. Having offended the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton), Dorothy is protected from the old crone's wrath by the ruby slippers that she wears. At the suggestion of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North (Billie Burke), Dorothy heads down the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City, where dwells the all-powerful Wizard of Oz, who might be able to help the girl return to Kansas. En route, she befriends a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), a Tin Man (Jack Haley), and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr). The Scarecrow would like to have some brains, the Tin Man craves a heart, and the Lion wants to attain courage; hoping that the Wizard will help them too, they join Dorothy on her odyssey to the Emerald City.

Garland was MGM's second choice for Dorothy after Shirley Temple dropped out of the project; and Bolger was to have played the Tin Man but talked co-star Buddy Ebsen into switching roles. When Ebsen proved allergic to the chemicals used in his silver makeup, he was replaced by Haley. Gale Sondergaard was originally to have played the Wicked Witch of the West in a glamorous fashion, until the decision was made to opt for belligerent ugliness, and the Wizard was written for W.C. Fields, who reportedly turned it down because MGM couldn't meet his price. Although Victor Fleming, who also directed Gone With the Wind, was given sole directorial credit, several directors were involved in the shooting, included King Vidor, who shot the opening and closing black-and-white sequences. Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg's now-classic Oscar-winning song "Over the Rainbow" was nearly chopped from the picture after the first preview because it "slowed down the action." The Wizard of Oz was too expensive to post a large profit upon initial release; however, after a disappointing reissue in 1955, it was sold to network television, where its annual showings made it a classic.
