Wizard Of Oz

[Mikeee]

My oh my how time flies.

 

May 15 is the birthday of famed author L. Frank Baum (1856-1919). He wrote one of the most loved children’s books–The Wizard of Oz. Even in his time, it was a massive success. In fact, he wrote 13 sequels set in the Oz universe.

 

The movie was made in 1939.

 

This is a re-release of the movie trailer.

If you are not young, then you will likely remember sitting down and watching the movie, in black and white (on the only TV in the house) as it was shown once a year.

 

What a thrill it was to see it the first time in COLOR. WOW.

 

And don't forget The Wizard of Oz website.

And The International Wizard of Oz Club.

They will have 3 conventions this year. Yippee !

What a classic. I still watch it with my grandkids. I remember when it was only on once a year. Now it is on several times a year.
