Synopsis

In this classic musical fantasy, Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, a young Kansas farm girl who dreams of a land “somewhere over the rainbow.” Dorothy’s dream comes true when she, her dog Toto, and her family’s house are transported by a tornado to a bright and magical world unlike anything she has seen before. Unfortunately, she makes a mortal enemy of a wicked witch when the house falls on the hag’s sister. Now, befriended by a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man with no heart and a cowardly lion--and protected by a pair of enchanted ruby slippers--Dorothy sets off along a yellow brick road for the Emerald City to beseech the all-powerful Wizard of Oz for his help to return home. This special 85th anniversary event includes exclusive insight from Leonard Maltin.

    I'm not sure what I would ask the Wizard for... maybe a supply of marmalade sandwiches?

    Always a pleasurable movie to see. The seats in this theater are very nice and the theater is extremely clean.

    I have probably seen WoZ over 60 times, but seeing it on the big screen was awesome. I saw nuances and details I'd never seen before, and the sheer size of the sets was overwhelming.

    When I was young they showed it on TV every year. We loved watching it, but seeing it on the big screen brought it to a whole new level. Loved it.💖

In set design, choreography, performances and music, The Wizard of Oz is a brilliant bauble of collective filmmaking, in what may have been Hollywood's greatest single year. [06 Nov 1998]
