THE WIZARD OF 02
‘Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my!‘ No Christmas is complete without Victor Fleming’s 1939 classic. This year the BFI have put out a cleaned up print at selected cinemas for those who wish to experience the film as it was always meant to be seen. Made during the Great Depression by MGM at the then enormous cost of $2,777,000 and shot on a special three strip Technicolor process, The Wizard of Oz wasactually the fifth version of Frank
L Baum‘s 1900 book and by tar the best. Come, you friends of Dorothy, accept no imitations. See review in Film.
