	The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wizard of Oz collectibles, such as autographs and props from the film, are among the most sought-after of all movie memorabilia.
		Several film scholars have written interesting interpretations of the film, including several attempts by structuralist semiologists suggesting that the film was intended to prepare America for entry into war, although this ignores the fact that the Second World War had not yet started.
		The Wizard who encourages and profits from the defeat of the Western Witch turns out to be another version of the same flimflam man she met at home, a cynical politician who realizes that none of Dorothy's allies truly require anything that they didn't already have.

	The Wizard of Oz (1939) - The Film Guide
		While not the first feature film produced in Technicolor (as commonly believed), The Wizard of Oz makes conspicuous use of the technique; its Kansas bookend sequences are in sepia-toned fl-and-white, while the Oz scenes are in full three-strip Technicolor.
		At the beginning of the film, Dorothy is telling the three farm hands about her conflict with a local rich, stern and humorless woman, Almira Gulch (played by Margaret Hamilton, who also plays the Witch of the West).
		He explains to them that his presence in Oz was an accident, that he was lost in (ironically enough) a "hot air" balloon, and that he is, in fact, from Kansas as well (which seems strange since the text on his balloon reads "Omaha", a city in Nebraska).

		After a charming introduction, in which the for-its-time-spectacular-and-fantastic 'Oz' is considered quite routine for a child who grew up with the excesses of Bollywood, he sits down at the TV with a notebook in hand, throwing out ideas and interpretations as he goes along.
		The film up to this point has been so radical and liberating, that Rushdie sees the ending as the usual Hollywood moralising. I've always thought that if your theory has to reject some of the text, than it's not much of a theory; but Rushdie is persuasive.
		His reverie on the fate of movie stand-ins, the audience's relationship to stars and film, and on the conflict between the idealism of a film and the reality of its making; is beautifully, philosophicallly moving.

	Film Guide to The Wizard of Oz
		Nugent describes The Wizard of Oz (1939) as "a delightful piece of wonder-working which had the youngsters eyes shining and brought a quietly amused gleam to the wiser ones of the oldsters.".
		The author compares 'Oz' to a fairy tale but says 'It's a mixture of childish fantasy and adult satire and a kind of humor that never seems to grow old.' Since this is one of the most loved aspects of this film, the author is clearly correct in this prediction as well.
		When filming started, Garland wore a blonde wig and heavy, 'baby-doll' make-up; when George Cukor assumed the role of intermediate director, he got rid of the wig and most of the make-up and told her to just be herself.

		Then, it was made into a silent film in 1910 (as the short film The Wonderful Wizard of Oz with 9 year old Bebe Daniels as Dorothy), again in 1921, and in 1925 (with comedian Oliver Hardy of Laurel and Hardy fame portraying the Tin Woodsman).
		Oz then declares he will grant their requests but they must perform a task: they must go to the Witch's Castle and bring back her broomstick.
		The special effects of "The Wizard of Oz" were not very spectacular, but the acting and the lyrics and the make-up and the richness of its Technicolor combined with the great charm of the story have made it a classic that always delights.

		On the contrary, it is a film that speaks to the exile.
		The Wizard of Oz shows that imagination can become reality, that there is no such place like home, or rather that the only home is the one we make for ourselves.
		Rushdie's brilliant insights into a film more often seen than written about are rounded off with a typically scintillating new short story, "At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers," about the day when Dorothy's red shoes are knocked down to $15,000 at a sale of MGM props.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Wizard of Oz
		The Wizard of Oz ome movies defy criticism and, because nothing bugs critics more than their superfluousness towards a film's general perception, inspire reactive critical insanity.
		Famously unpacked by Salman Rushdie's BFI monograph as a testament to the resilience of the geographically, politically displaced peoples, The Wizard of Oz stresses the schism between home and not home in a series of vaudeville songs and dances, most revolving around the character's shamed awareness of their own inadequacies.
		Rushdie's essay astutely noted that Oz is "an authorless text." He was basically referring to the film's production via committee, a true amalgam of creative forces individually pooling their studio-contract talents like a hive of bees (in tribute to a trio of queens…a quartet if you count Cukor).

		The Wizard of Oz was the first MGM musical to have the orchestra recorded on a separate soundtrack, and it paved the way for tonight's extraordinary experience.
		re-creation of a film score is like making a basket from half-court without hitting the rim 15 times in a row.
		The orchestra can't see the film or the clock, and if you get off-synch for a quarter of a second, it takes half a minute to recover.

	The Wizard of Oz - Cosmique Movie Awards Hall of Fame
		The 1939 beloved classic film The Wizard of Oz wasn't a commercial success when it was first released - it earned $3 million at the box office, but cost over $2.7 million to produce.
		Judy Garland's portrayal of the innocent Dorothy Gale and her wistful performance of "Over the Rainbow" (which was written at the last minute and almost cut from the film) struck a chord with audiences, and her sorrow seems ever more poignant after the other struggles in her life and early death.
		Oz was inducted into the Cosmique Movie Awards' Hall of Fame at the first annual awards ceremony in 2001, winning the top prize of "Best Film of All Time," for which none of its 1939 rivals were nominated.

		The initial shots of the Wizard's chamber (flames and a green projected head), along with Dorothy and the trio's frightened reactions to that may have the same effect on younger kids.

		When Locke is trapped under the blast doors in "Lockdown," he resembles the Wicked Witch of the East on The Wizard of Oz, who is killed when Dorothy's house lands on her.
