MGM'S all time great classic is as wonderous today as it was in 1939. Wizard is still the most watched and beloved film of all time. Every aspect of this movie makes it pure cinema magic. Margaret Hamilton's portrayal of the Wicked WItch was the subject of many a childhood nightmare, and I could think of no other lady to play that part quite like Hamilton. Judy Garland enchants the audience as the Kansas girl Dorothy Gale. Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger and Jack Haley bring the authenticity to their roles of the Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man, the three friends who accompany Dorothy on her journey to the Emerald City and her meeting with OZ, played with relish by Frank Morgan. Every song still comes to mind and this is a movie you'll want to not watch once, but relive time and time again.
