Jim's Ruby Slippers Page The first time we see the Ruby Slippers in the film is on the feet of the wicked witch that Miss Gulch transforms into as she's flying on her broomstick outside Dorothy's house while up inside the cyclone. Next we see the Ruby Slippers in the film is when Glinda, the Good Witch of the North points, and we get a quick closeup of them on the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East, which are sticking out from under Dorothy's house, that has just landed on her. The scene in which the Ruby Slippers next appear in the movie is when the camera pans down to Dorothy's feet wearing the Ruby Slippers as she steps onto the Yellow Brick Road to begin her journey to see the Wizard. www.geocities.com /Hollywood/Hills/6396/rubyslip.htm   (2068 words)
