Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Jonathan B — 30 Dec 2013
Can there be anybody on the planet who hasn't seen this movie? I defy anyone not to be enchanted by the tale of Dorothy Gale and her quest to find her way back to Kansas. Everything about his film is just right.
The switch from monochrome to garish Technicolor as the cabin door swings open onto Oz is still magical to behold and Margaret Hamilton is the best witch in cinema history. Generations of kids have been bought up with this movie and the songs and characters are just so familiar to us that it is hard to imagine that anything could be done to improve it.
