A testament to Mr. Rogers, children were frightened of the Wicked Witch so much that they had a hard time separating the character from the actress. In her later years, he brought her on to show people the actress and show how much of a delight she was. She even puts on the old costume to prove its her. I think he mainly did it cause he knew she was having a hard time with kids being scared of her in real life.

[Macilmoyle]

Possibly the best summary of the film: “Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again."

[davidcaunter]

Young people will never understand what it was like to only have this movie come on once a year. It was always a special occasion.

Something that a lot of people miss is that the Scarecrow, who wants a brain, comes up with all the Ideas; Tinman, who wants a heart, is always worried and crying; and Lion, who wants courage, is willing to risk his life to save Dorothy.

Also, Mr. Wizard also played the doormen and the carriage driver in Oz.

I was born in 1966 and raised in the 70s. Back then The Wizard of Oz aired once a year. You get excited weeks in advance knowing it's going to be on again. All the kids at school would be talking about it. Those were different times. I do return faithfully, and I'm still young at heart. ❤

Dorothy: "I miss Kansas."

Toto: "I miss the rains down in Africa."

Judy Garland was a volcanic talent. Held her own dancing with Gene Kelly. Competent actress. Fabulous singer with amazing breath control. One of the most tragic casualties of Hollywood's 'star system'.

Nick Fury : And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys.
Thor : Monkeys? I do not understand.
Steve Rogers : I do!
[Stark rolls his eyes, while Captain America looks proud of himself]
Steve Rogers : I understood that reference.

So many quotes from this movie. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" is my favorite.

[DanKetchum]

When you really think about it, this was Glinda (the "good" witch) using Dorothy as a catspaw to get rid of 2 other witches and the wizard.

The reason the twister in the background looked so good is because it wasn't a screen effect, it was really there and moving towards them. It was made of a huge piece of pantyhose material that was spinning and went from the floor up into the rafters of the sound stage. An amazing effect for the time.

Here's a really interesting fact, Margaret Hamilton was feared by children in real life that didn't understand that the film wasn't real. The actress then eventually made a guest appearance on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood in order to inform kids that she was just a normal, sweet old lady that only acted asa villain, even having her put on the costume to better explain to kids that she was all just pretend. She was apparently a fan of the show and would watch the show with her granddaughter.

[jestertlsodx]

I always found it funny that Margret Hamilton who was best known for being one of the best villains in cinematic history for her portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West, a character that scared the daylights out of little children, was a school teacher that loved kids and loved teaching them.

[Sairin]

In the books there's no dream, she really gets picked up in a tornado and really lands in Oz, she returns a couple times having adventures until she eventually decides to live in oz together with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em

Anyone in the U.S. born between 1950 and 1975 almost certainly watched this broadcast on television every year. I remember my third viewing was in 1969 after we’d gotten our first color tv. The thrill of the switch to color was something I’ll always remember.

[stevegrohowski]

The gent that played the Munchkin Coroner, used to come into to the book store that my wife worked in back in high school and do children's reading in his costume, up until he passed away. A wonderful gent!

[salsonny]

Back in the 30's , america was a big place and a lot of the little people never saw another little person like them ever in their life, When they got the call for the screenings and all the little people showed up, it was the first time hundreds of them never saw other little people, when they all met, it was a wild party. The hotel where they stayed during the filming, said that there were stories of debauchery and madnes.

Buddy Ebsen, he played Jed Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies", was the original pick to play the Tinman. Nine days into filming, he was hospitalized with breathing problems. The problem was caused by his silver makeup. The make was applied by covering his face with white grease paint, then turning it silver with a pounce bag. As the bag was, lightly, tapped on his face, fine aluminum powder was deposited on his face and was inhaled into his lungs. He spent 2 weeks in the hospital and a month at home, recuperating. They replace him with Jack Haley and mixed the aluminum powder with the grease paint, to form a cream that could be applied, without forming a dust could around his face.

I'm 67, and have seen this movie dozens of times in my life..Every time I see the lion dive through the glass I expect a TV commercial to come on, because that's what happened back then..Lol!..Ah, the things that stick with you.

7:57 "Only bad witches are ugly" - Glinda to Dorothy
"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" - Also Glinda to Dorothy

Glinda straight up calls Dorothy ugly.
