Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Tanner B — 23 Sep 2016
The Wizard of Oz (1939) C-101m. ???? D: Victor Fleming. Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Billie Burke, Margaret Hamilton, Terry (Todo). Movie magic as sweet girl (and kawaii dog) are swept away to mystical land of Oz where delight and friendliness at every turn is varnished by an evil witch.
With the help of a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodman, and Lion, she can restore Oz to greatness, but she just wants to go back to her family. Super casting, legendary scoring . . . you just can't beat this film! "Over the Rainbow" number and Herbert Stothart's soaring music won richly deserved Academy Awards.
Based on the L. Frank Baum novels; followed by RETURN TO OZ in 1985. And has there ever been a more winning selection of characters?
