The perfection that is The Wizard of Oz comes from the year 1939. That year was full of classic films like Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Gone With The Wind and this one...The Wizard of Oz. The whole film sparkles with wonder and beauty.
This film is about Dorothy, who helps on her parents' farm. She has many troubles and wonders what to do with her life. Soon, a tornado sweeps her up away from her troubles into the Land of Oz. There, she'll discover herself and evil beyond comprehension.
You really couldn't even find a better film anywhere. Every single musical number, set and actor seem to be having the time of their lives in such a picture as this. The song Over The Rainbow is one that I can belt out anytime perfectly. Hey, little bluebirds can do it, why can't I?!?!
The acting here also has some good stuff going for it. Ray Bolger is stunning as the Scarecrow, as is Judy Garland as Dorothy. The Witch may be the greatest villain ever put on the screen. If you think Hannibal Lector is frightning, wait till you see The Witch of The West!!
You'd have to go over the rainbow for a better film. This is surely a testament to the greatness in Hollywood. One of the greatest ever crafted.
Rating: 10.1 out of 10 or A+
