Despite its slow start, the movie gained a second life after being shown on television, and has since continued to delight audiences for generations. You may or may not know this, but The Wizard of Oz actually wasn't the smash hit that you might think it was when it debuted (more on that later). MGM's studio film about a young farm girl from Kansas who gets swept up in a tornado and taken to a magical land has become a timeless classic since it first wowed audiences with its wholesome story (and innovative color film technology) in 1939.

Um, I'm not as sophisticated as you are going through all of the trouble of changing the website to disable features of it that I didn't like, but I was able to pop the movie into my DVD player just a few minutes ago and watch it on my 50" plasma, and it is, in fact, a pistol. I immediately used Firebug to disable the BODY background image but I feel sorry for the lot of you who don't do those kinds of things on a regular basis. I mean, did you look at the gold brick background on his page? Only an idiot would do that. Seriously, take a look at the parts where tin man gets oiled up and you will not believe how stupid you were to fall for this guy's idiotic theory. Some idiot props guy had the job of making a big grey thing look like an oil can and that's the best he did. Xenu's Giant Pink Replicock: Is Fredd圜alhoun the only farker who has any brains at all?

It had the best special FX to date, color, and was (I may be wrong) only the second mainstream movie to ever be shot in color. ![]() Shirley Temple was the casting director's first choice to play the part of Dorothy, but her mom was asking for too much money, so Temple went on to make some over produced piece of crap that nobody even remembers, and her career plummeted, while Garland's career skyrocketed. There was a "Jitter Bug" musical number that never saw the light of day, because they felt the jitter bug, was just a trend, and would make the movie dated, and they also didn't want the movie to be considered as a musical. They came very close to cutting "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" out, because they felt it slowed the movie down to much. They had to strap Judy Garland's boobs down, because they made her look too old for the part, and stuck stuff up her nose to make it point up a little bit. There were even a couple of movies made addressing it, one being "Under The Rainbow"(1981) with Chevy Chase.
