The Wizard of Oz

The film Wizard of Oz was first published  on May, 17,1900.But the film was originally made on October, 13,1938. Even though the movie was made a long time ago the original film is still popular today. The wizard of oz is about a young girl and her dog while in a tornado they go to a magical world and while trying to get out of it she has to see the wizard on her journey she makes new friends and new experiences. All the characters in this movie are Dorthy, Toto, Munchkins, Scarecrow, Tin Can Man, Lion, Wicked Witch of The West, The Wizard of Oz, and the queen Fairy. The film was directed by Victor Fleming, It was produced by Mervyn LeRoy, and scored by Herbert stothart, and music and lyrics by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg. At the time they were filming the cast didn't know that they would be making there marks as Cinematic Legends. Ray Bolger appeared as the Scarecrow; Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion and Jack Haley as the Tin Man. The versatile Frank Morgan was seen in six different roles, including that of the "wonderful Wizard" himself. The Wizard of Oz received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and captured two Oscars®—Best Song (“Over the Rainbow”) and Best Original Score—plus a special award for Outstanding Juvenile Performance by Judy Garland. The film was an overwhelming popular and critical success upon its initial release and repeated its ability to captivate audiences when MGM reissued the film in 1949 and 1955. The wizard of oz is one of my favorite moves and a cool fact is it i more than 70 years old. Many people still enjoy the classic film and i bet that it will still be popular when I'm in college. And some of the cast is alive the one who played Dorthy is.
