The Cine-Files 460 THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) Part 3
On this week's episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha finish off their time in the land of Oz and head back to Kansas with Part 3 of their exploration of the beloved classic WIZARD OF OZ in honor of the newly release film 'WICKED FOR GOOD' from Universal Pictures. The 1939 film from director Victor Fleming stars Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Billie Burke, and Margaret Hamilton. Based on the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, the film focuses on a Kansas farm girl Dorothy Gale (Garland) who is transported to the magical land of Oz by tornado, where she must journey to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard and find her way home. This MGM musical features a screenplay from Noel Langley, Florence Ryerson, and Edgar Allan Woolf and music from Harold Arlen and adapted by Herbert Stothart, with lyrics by Edgar "Yip" Harburg. It was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, winning Best Original Song for "Over the Rainbow" and Best Original Score for Stothart. It was ranked second in Variety's inaugural 100 Greatest Movies of All Time list published in 2022. It was among the top ten in the 2005 British Film Institute (BFI) list and is on the BFI's updated list of 50 Films to be Seen by the Age of 15 released in May 2020. Steve and John go thru the movie scene by scene and break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, action sequences and more.
