Great fairy tale classics to must-see time! Alone because of the representation of evil green witch (Margaret Hamilton) and of course Judy Garland as Dorothy in the famous red Pailettenpumps of influential costume designer this time "Gilbert Adrian" who had also equipped Greta Garbo in "Grand Hotel" and the favorite designer of Joan Crawford has been. Dreamlike and elaborate staging and facilities with wonderful costumes in the time of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood's leading film studios MGM precious. The only question is where the many people of small stature (children) ago had to be seen in the film to the beginning, when Dorothy arrives in the fantastic land of Oz and the film then switches to color. I've never seen such a large number of short stature in a movie scene ... The film backgrounds are all hand painted where you can see the age of the film, of course, as it then was not yet technically possible using a Bluebox this produce but it did not bother me To view this still made by hand film. Rather, it spread to me charm because you can see how much work was still in such a stage had to be plugged.
