The Wizard Of Oz (1939 Film)

I read that Judy found it difficult to be scared of Maragret because she was a lovely lady in real life, and they were good friends for a while after completing this film

This maybe my favorite bit of acting from Garland in this movie. I love that she's not screaming and wailing with her cries. She's almost lost in how she should react. She's having a hard time comprehending how she got here and in the end, this is a child. This is a child who just wants to go home.

Judy Garland said that Margaret Hamilton was the nicest person to her on set... she was heavily abused on this set... so were many others.

[danielsteele]

I'll bet that Toto was thinking as he ran off: "I got to get help!"

[briskbronco]

Margret Hamilton’s superior acting as the Wicked Witch.

[nobratnaustin]

The way the wicked witch taunts her in the magic ball is diabolical!

Sinks my Battleship EVERYTIME,
"He got away, he got away."
:'--)

[emmagrove]

I still have no idea how they got the images in the crystal ball. It was magical to me as a kid and I still find it amazing.

I cry everytime she was so greatful to have toto saved she forgot about herself...and I love that cause that's what I would do for my pets..and this scene is satin trying to take a soul but hers was to greatful..just to save her dog..I cry every time

Won’t lie I get the feels anytime Judy’s crying scenes come up. I read from somewhere that the director told her to act like if her own pet ran away or died and it caused her to do so good in these crying scenes. But at the same time I wonder if the torturous stuff she went through behind the scenes was also what she thought of too while doing these scenes which was why she was so good in them. Won’t lie it hurts even more watching these scenes thinking about it. As a kid I viewed it differently, but as an adult it changed knowing the circumstances behind this film.

The irony that Margaret (the witch) was one of the few who was nice to Judy Garland while she was being heinously abused by her mother and the studio execs. She was and will forever be an icon <3

[flash]

Yes, Margaret Hamilton left behind an amazing legacy and continues to be revered not only as an incredible actress, but as a very kind and loving woman, mother and grandmother that brought one of the most beloved all time story characters to life. Nobody who has known her and spoken on her has ever had anything to say except wonderful things about who she was and the life she lived

[alyssajones]

"CATCH HIM YOU FOOL!" haha idk why I always laugh at that part.

[leonhughes]

This scene is about as perfect as can be. The music, acting, tempo and stakes. Incredible that it’s 80 years and still looks fresh !

[johnsax]

“I can’t wait forever to get those shoes!” Epic 😄

[michaelpaul]

Sometimes I wonder if these tears were real and judy garland was very scared and frightened of life

[anitagreen]

I got to see this in a movie house last year. As many times that I have seen this, that was the best!

2:11 Dorothy during Wicked's "For Good" number

[stravinsky]

That lady just never thinks to put a lock on the box she shuts Toto in.
Of course, these things must be done

[Sportshotrumorsdebates]

Just going to remind everyone that this movie is 86 years old and looks like it was done last year. Amazing!
