The Wizard of OzU

Directed by Victor Fleming | USA | 1939 | 1h 42m | Starring Judy Garland, Margaret Hamilton, Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley.

A tornado tears through the black-and-white world of Kansas whisking Dorothy (and her dog Toto) to the magical, technicolour kingdom of Oz. Realising that there’s no place like home, she follows the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City – with the help of a scarecrow, a tinman, and a lion – so that she can return to her life in Kansas. However, The Wicked Witch of the West is determined to stop their adventure. A masterpiece of 1930s cinema that remains a cornerstone of American cultural history thanks to its memorable characters and magnificent songs.
