Description

"There's no place like home..." Entirely remastered, the colorful characters and unforgettable songs of Oz come alive as never before. This magical cinematic event finds Kansas farm girl Judy Garland ("A Star is Born," "Meet Me in St. Louis") caught in a tornado and magically transported to the Land of Oz. Needing help to return home, she is told to follow the Yellow Brick Road and find the powerful Wizard (Frank Morgan). On her perilous journey, she is befriended by the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), the Tin Man (Jack Haley), and the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who help her battle the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) and her flying monkeys. Based on the classic book by Frank L. Baum, "The Wizard of Oz" is a dazzling motion picture achievement, featuring unforgettable songs (including Oscar-winner "Over the Rainbow"), scenery, and costumes. The film had 5 Academy Award nominations, and Garland was awarded a special Oscar for her outstanding performance.

The Wizard of Oz reigns supreme as one of the greatest films of all time. It is my personal favorite non-Disney films and has become my idol for films with melt movies.

I have loved this movie ever since I was a child. It is my up most favorite movie of all time. I know line by line perfectly by heart. I have been wanting to own this movie but I never have until today when it became on sale for $10 thru iTunes. It’s my first movie I bought thru my Apple TV.

No, they couldn’t leave it alone

I would have preferred the original . . . But, no, they had to make it so that everything had to be explained by a third person. It’s as if it’s for the blind. It’s ruined.

I grew up in Kansas and as a kid I would watch this move. Sure I always hear the not so funny “You’re not in Kansas anymore.” Because I have since moved away from Kansas. This film is awesome and I enjoy owning it.

After portraying his iconic horror role in “Frankenstein”, “Bride of Frankenstein” as Frankenstein’s Monster, Boris Karloff portrayed his signature role for the last time in “Son of Frankenstein”
Just as Karloff stepped down from the horror genre, Judy Garland’s performance as Dorothy Gale (which should have had her nominated for and win the Oscar for Best Actress) in “The Wizard of Oz” made her film and music careers soar
If only these two met, the worlds of the horror genre and musicals would have collided

Okay👏🏼👏🏼when I was little I loooooved this movie, but sadly I had no idea what went on behind the scenes. They treated Judy like absolute 💩 I read on twitter a thread of baddddd things that happened behind the scenes. Like the main star herself getting molested and touched a lot and in all the wrong places. I heard the original Tin man guy got sick because of all the paint on his body which was not tested and later found to be extremely toxic. Also I heard that all the munchkin guys would touch Judy and laugh/joke about it which is absolutely not a joke!! So I do recommend this movie just please educate yourself.

One Rotten Tomato Didn't Spoil the Whole Bunch!

It is truly amazing that out of 110 Rotten Tomato reviews over a period of 78 years, there was actually one rotten review! It was authored by Otis Ferguson on September 24, 1939 for The New Republic, "a liberal American magazine of commentary on politics and the arts published since 1914, with influence on American political and cultural thinking." (Wikipedia) So in 1939, this country was desperately in need of a fantasy that would take audiences out of time and space, even if it was only for an hour and forty-one minutes, because all hell had just broken loose. The Germans invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939 after signing a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union on August 23, 1939. On September 3rd, 1939, Britain, France, India, Australia and new Zealand declared war on Germany, initiating World War II. Things would only get worse from there, including New Republic editor Michael Whitney Straight (1948 to 1956) who was a spy for the KGB, recruited into the same network as Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, and Anthony Blunt.

Awesome musical, and much more cheerful than newer interpretations of the original source material.
For those wondering (over the years) about why there's no widescreen version (Note: HD does not mean Widescreen) - this movie was filmed in Fullscreen (1.37:1 ratio). Widescreen format did not become common until almost 20 years after this movie was made. If you are watching it in "widescreen" that's not how it was intended to be viewed.

Very disappointed with the download as it was not in WIDESCREEN as depicted in the trailer for the download of the movie. Showing in trailer closer to a 1:85 aspect ratio version of the film. Should have been in description. Ended up with an old school 4:3 aspect ratio, square version of the film.
iTunes really needs to list this information for movie downloads. This is not the first time I've run into this type of situation. Very deceiving on iTunes' part. They really need to be more informative so the buying public can make a better decision on whether to make a purchase or not?
Hope someone at iTunes reads this!!!

Not 1080p/720p

The details list the HD version as 1080p/720p. I purchased the HD version, only to find out that it is not the widescreen version, thus the movie displays in neither 1080p nor 720p. Very disappointing, considering the trailer displays widescreen 1080p. This is false advertising. I want my money back.

This is the 1999 edition. It is very compressed to approximately digital SD quality. A newer restored transfer with a higher bit-rate is being released this month (October, 2009) on blu-ray. It is a lot better with a lot more extras. Decide where you would rather spend your cash.

There are seperate entries in my library for the movie and for the iTunes extras. Strangely, one is alphabatized under "T" for "the" and the other under "W" for Wizard.
The itunes extras content require double clicks to select content, and does not seem well-integrated with the move.
I don't know if this is a bheavior is a bug, or just poor design (I hope the former).

cos i would expect it to be much more clean. all that dust and the scratches. surely they could clean that up. it's not just some movie, it's a national treasure. an epic tale of dustbowl dreams of a better tomorrow, escaping the farm to the big city, conquering your fears of the unknown and striking out for yourself. clean it up, MGM!

love it!

hinnerhinner, you must be on drugs and really? There is no one hanging themselves in this movie. If you took 5 minutes to study up on The Wizard of Oz, you would know this. And to say the writer, L. Frank Baum, was on drugs...is blasphemy. Why do I get the feeling you had a horrible childhood and have never even actually seen this movie? It is a timeless story and just gets better with every viewing. Buy it, if you've been living under a rock and for some reason have never seen it! You'll LOVE IT!
