Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale and Terry the Dog as Totolives with her dog on a farm belonging to her. One day, Toto bites neighbor Miss Almira Gulch on the leg, leading her to obtain an order from the sheriff to him.

In spite of Dorothy's pleas and Aunt Em's resistance, Miss Gulch takes Toto away in a basket, but Toto escapes and returns to Dorothy; she decides to run away in order to ensure that Toto won't be euthanized. Not far from the farm, she meets, a kind fortune teller who uses his crystal ball to make Dorothy believe that Aunt Em may be dying of a broken heart. Horrified, Dorothy rushes home as a storm approaches; a forms, and Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and the farmhands take shelter in the as Dorothy arrives home. Unable to be heard begging for entry, Dorothy seeks shelter in her bedroom.

The window is blown in from its frame and hits Dorothy on the head, knocking her unconscious. The house is sent spinning into the air, and she awakens to see various figures fly by, including Miss Gulch on her bicycle, who transforms into a witch on a broomstick.The house lands in in the. And the welcome her as a heroine, as the falling house has killed the. Her sister, the, arrives to claim her, but Glinda transfers them onto Dorothy's feet first.

On her journey, Dorothy meets the, who wants a brain, the, who desires a heart, and the, who needs courage. Dorothy invites them to accompany her to Emerald City, where they can also ask the Wizard for help. Despite the Witch's attempts to stop them, they reach the Emerald City and are eventually allowed to see the Wizard, who appears as a ghostly head surrounded by fire and smoke. He agrees to grant their wishes if they prove their worth by bringing him the Witch's broomstick.As the foursome and Toto make their way to the Witch's castle, the Witch captures Dorothy and plots to kill her and retrieve the slippers. Toto escapes and leads her three friends to the castle. They ambush three guards, don their uniforms and free Dorothy.

The Witch and her guards chase and surround them. The Witch sets fire to the Scarecrow, causing Dorothy to toss a bucket of water, inadvertently splashing the Witch, who melts away; the guards rejoice and give Dorothy her broomstick.Upon their return to the Emerald City, the Wizard stalls in fulfilling his promises until Toto pulls back a curtain and exposes the 'Wizard' as a middle-aged man operating machinery and speaking into a microphone. Admitting to being a, he insists that he is 'a good man but a bad wizard.' The Wizard then gives the Scarecrow a diploma, the Lion a medal and the Tin Man a ticking heart-shaped watch, helping them see that the attributes they sought were already within them.

as the voice of in the Tin Man's song ' (uncredited)Production Development Production on the film began when 's (1937) showed that films adapted from popular children's stories and fairytale folklore could still be successful. In January 1938, bought the rights to L. Frank Baum’s from, who had toyed with the idea of making the film as a vehicle for who was under contract to the Goldwyn studios and whom Goldwyn wanted to cast as the Scarecrow.The script went through several writers and revisions before the final shooting. 's assistant, had submitted a brief four-page outline.

Because recent fantasy films had not fared well, he recommended toning down or removing the magical elements of the story. In his outline, the Scarecrow was a man so stupid that the only employment open to him was literally scaring crows from cornfields, while the Tin Woodman was a criminal so heartless he was sentenced to be placed in a tin suit for eternity, torture that softened him into somebody gentler and kinder. His vision was similar to 's of the story in which the magical elements are absent.Afterward, LeRoy hired screenwriter, who soon delivered a 17-page draft of the Kansas scenes and a few weeks later, a further 56 pages.

He also hired and poet to write separate versions of the story. None of these three knew about the others, and this was not an uncommon procedure. Nash delivered a four-page outline, Langley turned in a 43-page treatment and a full film script.

He turned in three more, this time incorporating the songs that had been written. And submitted a script and were brought on board to touch up the writing. They would be responsible for making sure the story stayed true to the Baum book. However, producer was unhappy with their work and reassigned it to Langley. During filming, and revised the script further, adding and cutting some scenes.

Also, Jack Haley and Bert Lahr are known to have written some of their dialogue for the Kansas sequence.They completed the final draft of the script on October 8, 1938, following numerous rewrites. All in all, it was a mish-mash of many creative minds, but Langley, Ryerson, and Woolf got the film credits. Along with the contributors already mentioned, others who assisted with the adaptation without receiving credit include:, Arthur Freed, Yip Harburg, Jack Mintz, Sid Silvers, and.In addition, songwriter Harburg's son (and biographer) Ernie Harburg reported:So anyhow, Yip also wrote all the dialogue in that time and the setup to the songs and he also wrote the part where they give out the heart, the brains, and the nerve, because he was the final script editor. And he – there was eleven screenwriters on that – and he pulled the whole thing together, wrote his own lines and gave the thing a coherence and unity which made it a work of art.

But he doesn't get credit for that. He gets lyrics by E. Harburg, you see. But nevertheless, he put his influence on the thing.The original producers thought that a 1939 audience was too sophisticated to accept Oz as a straight-ahead fantasy; therefore, it was re-conceived as a lengthy, elaborate. Because of a perceived need to attract a youthful audience through appealing to modern fads and styles, the score had featured a song called 'The Jitterbug', and the script had featured a scene with a series of musical contests. A spoiled, selfish princess in Oz had outlawed all forms of music except classical and and went up against Dorothy in a singing contest in which her swing style enchanted listeners and won the grand prize. This part was initially written for.

The plan was later dropped.Another scene, which was removed before final script approval and never filmed, was an epilogue scene back in Kansas after Dorothy's return. Hunk (the Kansan counterpart to the Scarecrow) is leaving for an agricultural college and extracts a promise from Dorothy to write to him. The scene implies that romance will eventually develop between the two, which also may have been intended as an explanation for Dorothy's partiality for the Scarecrow over her other two companions. This plot idea was never totally dropped, but is especially noticeable in the final script when Dorothy, just before she is to leave Oz, tells the Scarecrow, 'I think I'll miss you most of all.' Much attention was given to the use of color in the production, with the MGM production crew favoring some hues over others. It took the studio's art department almost a week to settle on the shade of yellow used for the yellow brick road. Ebsen's costume test as the Tin Manwas originally cast as the Tin Man and was to play the Scarecrow.

Bolger, however, longed to play the Scarecrow, as his childhood idol had done; with that very performance, Stone had inspired him to become a vaudevillian in the first place. Now unhappy with his role as the Tin Man (reportedly claiming, 'I'm not a tin performer; I'm fluid'), Bolger convinced producer Mervyn LeRoy to recast him in the part he so desired.

Herbert Stothart conducts the MGM Studio Orchestra for The Wizard of Oz, which was recorded at the MGM studiosThe film is widely noted for its musical selections and soundtrack. The music was composed by, and the lyrics were written by, both of whom won the for 'Over the Rainbow'. The song was ranked first in two lists: the and the 's '.MGM composer, a well-known Hollywood composer and songwriter, won the in recognition of his original score.was associate conductor and screen credit was given to, and Paul Marquardt for orchestral and vocal arrangements (as usual, Roger Edens was also heavily involved as an unbilled musical associate to Freed.)The songs were recorded in the studio's scoring stage before filming.

Several of the recordings were completed while Ebsen was still with the cast. Therefore, while he had to be dropped from the cast due to illness from the aluminum powder makeup, his singing voice remained in the soundtrack (as noted in the notes for the CD Deluxe Edition). In the group vocals of 'We're Off to See the Wizard', his voice can be heard. Haley spoke with a distinct, thus did not pronounce the r in wizard.

By contrast, Ebsen was a, like Garland, and pronounced it. Haley rerecorded Ebsen's solo parts later.Bolger's original recording of ' had been far more sedate compared to the version heard in the film; during the filming, Cukor and LeRoy decided that a more energetic rendition would better suit Dorothy's initial meeting with the Scarecrow and the song was rerecorded as such. At first thought to be lost, a copy of the original version was discovered in 2009. Song list. ' – Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. Munchkinland Sequence:.

The Witch is Dead!' , sung upon the return to the Emerald CitySome musical pieces filmed were deleted in the editing process.The song 'The Jitterbug', written in a swing style, was intended for the sequence in which the group is journeying to the Witch's castle.

Due to time constraints, the song was cut from the final theatrical version. The film footage for the song has been lost, although silent home film footage of rehearsals for the number has survived. The sound recording for the song, however, is intact and was included in the two-CD deluxe edition of the film soundtrack, as well as on the VHS and DVD editions of the film.

A reference to 'The Jitterbug' remains in the film: the Witch remarks to her flying monkeys that they should have no trouble apprehending Dorothy and her friends because 'I've sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them.' Another musical number cut before release occurred right after the Wicked Witch of the West was melted and before Dorothy and her friends returned to the Wizard. This was a reprise of 'Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead' (blended with ' and 'The Merry Old Land of Oz') with the lyrics altered to 'Hail! The Witch is Dead!'

This started with the Witch's guard saying 'Hail to Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!' And dissolved to a huge celebration of the citizens of the Emerald City singing the song as they accompany Dorothy and her friends to see the Wizard. Today, the film of this scene is also lost and only a few stills survive, along with a few seconds of footage used on several reissue trailers. The entire audio still exists and is included on the two-CD Rhino Record deluxe edition of the film soundtrack.In addition, a brief reprise of 'Over the Rainbow' was intended to be sung by Garland while Dorothy is trapped in the Witch's castle, but it was cut because it was considered too emotionally intense. The original soundtrack recording still exists, however, and was included as an extra in all home media releases from 1993 onwards. Underscoring Extensive edits in the film's final cut removed vocals from the last portion of the film.

These releases include an edited English version (roughly 10 minutes, and roughly 20 minutes), as well as edited Spanish versions of the classic. This lobby card for the 1955 re-release carried a contemporary image of Garland.Although the 1949 re-issue used sepia tone, as in the original release, beginning with the 1955 re-issue, and continuing until the film's 50th anniversary release in 1989, the opening Kansas sequences were shown in black and white instead of the sepia tone as originally printed. (This includes television showings.)The MGM 'Children's Matinees' series re-released the film twice, in both 1970 and 1971.

It also had a one-week theatrical engagement in on October 25, 2019 to commemorate the anniversary. Reception Critical response The Wizard of Oz was met with widespread acclaim upon its release. Considered the film a 'delightful piece of wonder-working which had the youngsters' eyes shining and brought a quietly amused gleam to the wiser ones of the oldsters. Not since Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has anything quite so fantastic succeeded half so well.' Nugent had issues with some of the film's special effects, writing,with the best of will and ingenuity, they cannot make a Munchkin or a Flying Monkey that will not still suggest, however vaguely, a Singer's Midget in a masquerade.

Nor can they, without a few betraying jolts and split-screen overlappings, bring down from the sky the great soap bubble in which Glinda rides and roll it smoothly into place.According to Nugent, 'Judy Garland's Dorothy is a pert and fresh-faced miss with the wonder-lit eyes of a believer in fairy tales, but the Baum fantasy is at its best when the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion are on the move.' Writing in, John C. Flinn predicted that the film was 'likely to perform some record-breaking feats of box-office magic,' noting, 'Some of the scenic passages are so beautiful in design and composition as to stir audiences by their sheer unfoldment.'

He also called Garland 'an appealing figure' and the musical numbers 'gay and bright.' Wrote, 'Even though some persons are not interested in pictures of this type, it is possible that they will be eager to see this picture just for its technical treatment. The performances are good, and the incidental music is of considerable aid. Pictures of this caliber bring credit to the industry.' Wrote:is privileged to herald this one with his deepest roar—the one that comes from way down—for seldom if indeed ever has the screen been so successful in its approach to fantasy and extravaganza through flesh-and-blood.

Handsomely mounted fairy story in Technicolor, with its wealth of humor and homespun philosophy, its stimulus to the imagination, its procession of unforgettable settings, its studding of merry tunes should click solidly at the box-office.Not all reviews were positive. Some moviegoers felt that the 16-year-old Garland was slightly too old to play the little girl who Baum originally intended his Dorothy to be. Russell Maloney of wrote that the film displayed 'no trace of imagination, good taste, or ingenuity' and declared it 'a stinkeroo,' while Otis Ferguson of wrote: 'It has dwarfs, music, Technicolor, freak characters, and Judy Garland. It can't be expected to have a sense of humor, as well – and as for the light touch of fantasy, it weighs like a pound of fruitcake soaking wet.' Still, the film placed seventh on 's year-end nationwide poll of 542 critics naming the best films of 1939. Legacy chose it as one of his Great Films, writing that ' The Wizard of Oz has a wonderful surface of comedy and music, special effects and excitement, but we still watch it six decades later because its underlying story penetrates straight to the deepest insecurities of childhood, stirs them and then reassures them.'

Dorothy in MunchkinlandWriter acknowledged ' The Wizard of Oz was my very first literary influence' in his 2002 musings about the film. He has written: 'When I first saw The Wizard of Oz, it made a writer of me.' His first short story, written at the age of 10, was titled 'Over the Rainbow'.In a 2009 retrospective article about the film, film critic and author declared that the film'sentire sequence, from Dorothy's arrival in Oz to her departure on the yellow brick road, has to be one of the greatest in cinema history – a masterpiece of set design, costuming, choreography, music, lyrics, storytelling, and sheer imagination.' On the film critic aggregator site, the film has an approval rating of 98% based on 116 reviews, with an average score of 9.41/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'An absolute masterpiece whose groundbreaking visuals and deft storytelling are still every bit as resonant, The Wizard of Oz is a must-see film for young and old.'

At, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film received the maximum score of 100 out of 100, based on 4 reviews, indicating 'universal acclaim', which, as of March 2020, is matched only by eight other films.Box office According to MGM records, during the film's initial release, it earned $2,048,000 in the US and Canada and $969,000 in other countries throughout the world, resulting in total earnings of $3,017,000. While these were considerable earnings, the high production cost, in association with various distribution and other costs, meant the movie initially recorded a loss of $1,145,000 for the studio. It did not show what MGM considered a profit until a 1949 re-release earned an additional $1.5 million (about $16 million today). However, for all the risks and cost that MGM undertook to produce the film, it was considered at least more successful than anyone thought it would be.

According to Christopher Finch, author of the Judy Garland biography Rainbow: The Stormy Life of Judy Garland, 'Fantasy is always a risk at the box office. The film had been enormously successful as a book, and it had also been a major stage hit, but previous attempts to bring it to the screen had been dismal failures.' Finch also writes that after the success of the film, Garland signed a new contract with MGM giving her a substantial increase in salary, making her one of the top-ten box office stars in the United States.
