The Wizard of Oz - Starring Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley, Billie Burke, and Margaret Hamilton Release Date: August 25, 1939
There had been at least two silent adaptations of the book, but were not successful [Larry Semon's 1925 version was more a burlesque of L. Frank Baum's story than being faithful to it].
Zimtpancake My mom showed it to me for the first time when I was about 8 and home sick. I got tired and drifted asleep midway through but it gave me some weird ass fever dream visuals. It was like being trapped in the last half hour of Zardoz.
the wizard of oz is one of my favorite movies to watch of all-time. there is no other singer like judy garland who could sing as well as her. r.i.p. judy garland. we all miss you so very much.
The wizard of Os is my favorite zapruder film of all time._. The Kennedy Os/Oz enigma was awsome. 1939 Dorothy alive and wizard of Oz and Flying monkeys, 1963 Dorothy dead and wizard of Os and monkeys virus. The staged live version of wizard of Os._.
0:36 was part of a deleted scene featuring a reprise of "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead," starting with the Winkie Guards and transitioning into a giant parade in the Emerald City. It also included lines from "In the Merry Old Land of Oz" and "We're Off to See the Wizard." It really tied it together, and from the photos and audio that survive, I think it would have been the greatest number in the film. All but the 2 seconds of it in the trailer are lost, presumably destroyed in a 1960's archive fire. There's probably nobody alive who's seen the whole thing. Such a shame. While I hope this movie is never remade, it would be great if they could remake that sequence!
i would be all for it as well, just to give us modern fans alive today, the closest feeling or glimpse of what it may have been like, just like Peter Jackson remade the lost Spider-Pit scene from the classic 1933 King Kong, another iconic lost deleted scene, which is sadly more than likely lost to history. I also doubt theres anyone alive today who saw the Jitterbug scene the way it was meant to be shown, all of the footage for that is lost, the only footage of it that is shown, is behind the scenes, rehearsal footage, same-thing with the emotional Over the Rainbow reprise in the Witch's Castle. Scarecrow Dance is the only deleted scene to fully survive, makes me wonder how that managed to survive compared to the rest of the deleted lost scenes.
@@thomaswest8447 Probably because the Scarecrow dance is just an extended piece of the "If Only I Had a Brain!" sequence. Also, it was done by Bubsy Berkeley, a big name at MGM.
I'm 18 now and I had so many fond memories with my childhood friends and my grandma just letting us watch this when we were like 6-7. It was amazing damn. What nostalgia! It's really sad how time has flew.
I am proud to live in North Syracuse,NY because this is the city where L. Frank Baum wrote the Wizard of Oz, and the inspirational forest is right behind my school, where we have a sign saying so!
It's nice seeing camera angles that were never used in the final film. Also, I believe :37-:40 is from a deleted scene where they triumphantly return to Emerald City singing a reprise of Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead after they melt her.
@@SillyCreatureSally The reason because the film was too long for people to handle and it was cut out. Unfortunately, it was destoryed in an MGM vault fire.
God, this was so long ago, and still, SO popular. I've had some sort of emotion for Judy Garland's death. I've been thinking of it all day at my school. Judy Garland did incredible acting and I can't wait to meet her when I die. Judy Garland, Jack Haley, Ray Bolger, and Billie Burke did wonderful jobs. So sad that they died a long time ago. If reincarnation was a thing, maybe Judy Garland can do some more wonderful and magnificent acting. I definitely need to go to therapy now.
the wizard of oz is one of the first films that i ever saw, along with aboott - costello meet frankenstien.you never forget your favorite childhood films.as a kid in the 70's i was blown away by this movie.i still can't believe they could do this in 1939.my favorite character was always the scarecrow,played by the great ray bolger.loved the flying monkees and the wicked witches guards.the wicked witch always scared both me and my brother when she flew on that broom.
For 1939, this movie has AMAZING special effects. The flying house, the talking trees, and the witch melting are simply remarkable. And to think, they did it all without the CGI shit(pardon my french) that are overused in movies today.
The voiceover is by MGM's Howard Strickling. He only deigned to talk in trailers for the very biggest productions- in the same year he did 'Gone with the Wind'. He was the studio's longtime publicity chief, Louis B Mayer's closest confidant and probably knew more secrets than anyone in Hollywood. Strickling was offered a fortune to write a tell-all book, but never spilled any beans during almost 20 years in retirement.
The behind-the-scenes for this movie is a genuine horror story. Poor Judy Garland. And the other actors playing the tin man, scarecrow, and lion who had to suffer with the insane on-set working conditions, among many other things. Once you look this stuff up, you'll never see this movie the same way again and I still can't bring myself to rewatch it.
Color film was being experimented with for a very long time. It wasn't until the early 1930s that they finally perfected the standard of Technicolor. The first movie made using it was "Becky Sharpe" in 1935. They would have to do color tests to ensure the colors looked just right and hire cameras and operators for them from Technicolor, so they would only make their biggest movies in color. Other color processes would eventually come around and by the mid-1960s, black and white movies were nearly phased out. Some have been made since for artistic reasons, some for extremely low budgets (like Clerks). So yes, there were color movies in 1939.
Technicolor was invented in 1916 and first used in the 1917 silent film The Gulf Between. The process advanced and by the time sound films were made it was quite advanced. Many color films were made throughout the 30's as well as animated shorts and Walt Disney's 1937 classic Snow White.
I’m 30 years old and it’s still a favorite. Wore my vhs out as a child. The replacement too. The copy I have today was signed by the last few living munchkins at the time, all dead now. That movie is pretty special.
Because the film was reissued several times after its initial 1939 release, different trailers were conceived- this one [narrated by Frank Whitbeck] is eseentially the '39 trailer, with a 1944 "tag", identifying it as "A Masterpiece Reprint" {"Come see it again, folks, before we stick it back into the vault for a few more years!"}. Other reissues were in 1949, and 1955 [in a "widescreen" edition, adapting the film to "CinemaScope" dimensions, slightly cropping the frame at top and bottom].
Not only is this a good trailer but if this really is the original 1939 trailer then it debunks the hanging Munchckin theory at 1:17-1:22 it's a Birrrrrrrrrdddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B.I.R.D do u hear me Birrrrrrrrrdddddddddd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hoodie SO Yeah, but the video with the alleged hanging on it was stated by the uploader to come from a 1986 VHS, so if it was edited out in 1949, it shouldn't have been on the 1986 VHS. Mystery solved, the hanging footage was a photoshop, and the bird is the real version.
Yes, but keep in mind color films were a "novelty" back then, because of the cost [it was twice as expensive to film a full-length movie in color, instead of black and white]. Except for certain cartoons, travelogues, and "selected short subjects", feature films were mostly seen in black and white (about one out of every five released were filmed in color at the time).
I don't care about special effects, costumes, make-up and so on! I grew up with this movie, mrs Judy was my perfect Dorothea and I love and I will always love this movie no matter what!
Frank Whitbeck, who was MGM's narrator for most of their "promotional films" and trailers, is heard here. Even though this is the 1939 trailer, the "tag" indicates this is from the 1944 reissue {"A Masterpiece Reprint"}. The studio always reissued their most successful films over the years; "The Wizard of Oz" was reissued in 1944, '49, and again in 1955, before it became a yearly TV "event", beginning in 1956.
@dreamy839 This movie & "Gone With The Wind" were both released in 1939 & their success was questionable at the time. Two of most enjoyed & viewed films in American cinematography.
I never saw this movie but I remember reading a storybook with sound effects based on this movie. I'm seeing the prequel directed by Sam Raimi and staring James Franco for my 18th birthday.
Colorization was a more expensive process. They prolly figured it would make the clip where Dorothy opens her door to step into another land more believable and they were right. I love this movie always have. Best musical ever made. Old Hollywood is the best and always will be.
The Scarecrow dance is the only deleted scene to have survived in full, the Emerald City parade, celebration, after the Wicked Witch of the West's death, the full footage of the deleted scene is lost, believed to be destroyed, except for a few seconds which survive in this trailer as you pointed out.
@@bluewhaleking6227 and it's only fitting for there to be a reprise of the song because, The Wicked Witch of the West is much worse than her Sister, as Glinda said in her own words. Plus, the song combines Merry Old land of Oz and your off to see the Wizard, the most iconic songs in the film.
It’s amazing how this was made in 1939 and it’s still known today, I didn’t know about it until I was 6 and I still watch it sometimes this is my childhood movie
This Movie is colored since it has been produced in 1938 - 1939 Colored Tech is old as you could Expect , But they try to Get this Tech to light as Early as they could
Yes, 'Super'- at :37 is a snippet from a deleted sequence where Dorothy and her friends, after the Witch's demise, return to the Emerald City in triumph, with everyone joining in for a reprise of "Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead"...
As open as I may be to a new faithful adaption of the original L Frank Baum Oz books, I agree that they should’ve have to be restricted to replicating this film.
As far as the "hanging munchkin" being true or not I have a digitally remastered VHS from 1999 of movie and what I see is clearly something or someone swinging from a tree. My daughter was 8 at the time I bought the tape and even she noticed it she's the one who showed me. All digitally remastered means is that it is a cleaned up picture and sound it's still the original version.
Julie Furaitor Please upload a video and show us. I have a 1989 VHS, and it has the bird on it. Since yours is 1999, and mine is older than that, that proves that mine is the real version. I have it uploaded to my channel if you don't believe me.
1:16 The trailer had the audacity to include the hanging munchkin scene and cover it up with a bird! But in all seriousness, *TELL ME THAT'S A MUNCHKIN*
(1:16) If this is the ORIGINAL trailer from the late 1930’s the black hanging munchkin figure should be in the background of this shot, but no, it’s the bird that everyone said was edited in for the remastered version. But this is not the remastered version, the quality is terrible.
1:20 Scarecrow stumbles over his feet and it does not look like an act you can even see Dorothy's hand push him up like if he saw something that startled him
The bird is in the original trailer! That disproves the hanging munchkin hoax once and for all, because why would MGM edit something just for a trailer? I rest my case!
It wasn't. There's danger is trying to create a "prequel" to a classic story. If you don't get it right.......well, the Disney Company wasn't any more successful with that film than their 1985 SEQUEL, "Return to Oz".

1939 : I like how they go to great lengths to explain that the movie is just as good as the book.
There had been at least two silent adaptations of the book, but were not successful [Larry Semon's 1925 version was more a burlesque of L. Frank Baum's story than being faithful to it].
The movie is NOT just as good as the book. The book is 1000% better. Great movie...but there is no argument on the fact that the book is better.
@Brandon Brooks Thanks for the info on the Return to Oz movie. I had never heard of it, but I just found it on Disney+. I will try to watch it today.
The book is sub-par children's literature while the movie is all-time great
Old is gold.
I remember when i was little I was sick and my mom always Watched with me this movie while eating hot chocolate and cookies . I miss my childhood
Did you eat hot chocolate?
Zimtpancake My mom showed it to me for the first time when I was about 8 and home sick. I got tired and drifted asleep midway through but it gave me some weird ass fever dream visuals. It was like being trapped in the last half hour of Zardoz.
I still watch this movie. My favorite character is The Tin Man.
the wizard of oz is one of my favorite movies to watch of all-time. there is no other singer like judy garland who could sing as well as her. r.i.p. judy garland. we all miss you so very much.

What was or is your favorite scene or scenes of the movie?
I love this movie . This film it"s a masterpiece . Judy Garland she was a legend and she is very beautiful .
I am proud to live in North Syracuse,NY because this is the city where L. Frank Baum wrote the Wizard of Oz, and the inspirational forest is right behind my school, where we have a sign saying so!
I always cry when Dorothy sings over the rainbow so sentimental 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's nice seeing camera angles that were never used in the final film. Also, I believe :37-:40 is from a deleted scene where they triumphantly return to Emerald City singing a reprise of Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead after they melt her.
Yeah, I really wish that scene had survived!
I don't know why it was deleted

That's all right. I've heard worse. Today, most movies of this kind put the emphasis on special effects and CGI animation.
That's because in the old days where there wasn't any CGI until the 1970s
I remember seeing this movie in ART class last year!.
+chrissy thilmany This movie is art

Nearly a week later after this film was released Hitler invaded Poland and WWII began. Just an eerie fact.
0:37 , unless I’m mistaken, this is from a deleted and almost entirely lost scene titled “Triumphal Return to the Emerald City,.”
You are not wrong
This Movie was actually so Great!
The behind-the-scenes for this movie is a genuine horror story. Poor Judy Garland. And the other actors playing the tin man, scarecrow, and lion who had to suffer with the insane on-set working conditions, among many other things. Once you look this stuff up, you'll never see this movie the same way again and I still can't bring myself to rewatch it.
Another bit of trivia: Margaret Hamilton was also burned during her "I’ll get, you my pretty, and your little dog, too" line with the smoke cloud.
Lucky for me I still rewatch the movie once in a blue moon
This is the reissue trailer.
Yes- the first one (1944).
I always loved watching this as a kid
I've seen this film and I've always wondered how has a film made in 1939 have colour?
Its just goes to show that people can invent things really fast :)
Color film was being experimented with for a very long time. It wasn't until the early 1930s that they finally perfected the standard of Technicolor. The first movie made using it was "Becky Sharpe" in 1935. They would have to do color tests to ensure the colors looked just right and hire cameras and operators for them from Technicolor, so they would only make their biggest movies in color.

Liam Clay this is Technicolor pictures.It released at 1916.
Gone with the wind is also from 1939 and that film is also in colour...
I’m 30 years old and it’s still a favorite. Wore my vhs out as a child. The replacement too. The copy I have today was signed by the last few living munchkins at the time, all dead now. That movie is pretty special.
Now that was a great movie!
Can't wait until this comes out. :P
My family and I watch this every November :) I love this movie so much!

This is one of the best movies ever made.
One of my favorite movies! Every Friday and Saturday night we'd watch it on VHS.
I actually love watching this movie mostly during Christmas for some reason, perhaps it's the "There's no place like home" thing.
Same, but I just think I have a crush on the Tin Man
I like this movie very much, every summer I watch it and I enjoy in it like I saw it for the first time...This is a real classic...
I remember getting this DVD, Labyrinth and the dark crystal when i was little and watching them over and over.
Not only is this a good trailer but if this really is the original 1939 trailer then it debunks the hanging Munchckin theory at 1:17-1:22 it's a Birrrrrrrrrdddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B.I.R.D do u hear me Birrrrrrrrrdddddddddd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually this is the 1949 trailer
it says the treat thingy because there were lots of films based on the book before this film
Curry's Ankles I think that was only in the 1955 widescreen remake trailer
I know this is a year old but whatever XD
Hoodie SO Yeah, but the video with the alleged hanging on it was stated by the uploader to come from a 1986 VHS, so if it was edited out in 1949, it shouldn't have been on the 1986 VHS. Mystery solved, the hanging footage was a photoshop, and the bird is the real version.
This is not the 1939 Trailer. It's a re-release trailer. Notice the MGM Re-print title card.
I like the 1963 trailer with king of hearts death._. The Kennedy version of wizard of Os.
1944, in fact.
i watch it every year when it's on since i was little i love it i can't wait until Sunday

If you think about it, this is one of the greatest chick flicks ever: Two women fighting over a pair of shoes
Bwahahahahaha!!!!
Transported into a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets, then teams up with three strangers to kill again.
I don't care about special effects, costumes, make-up and so on! I grew up with this movie, mrs Judy was my perfect Dorothea and I love and I will always love this movie no matter what!

Still the greatest movie ever.
My childhood film!
1:15 debunks hanging munchkin theory
Yes, yes, yes!
I may not like this film too much nowadays, but I can't help help appreciating its innovation. I did like it a s a child though!
I feel the same way. I don’t watch the movie too often. But once in a while

I didn’t know it was 1939 until I was 10 or 11.
My Grandfather was 19 and my Grandmother was 16 in the year of 1939 when The Wizard of Oz 1939 was in theaters a long time ago.
I have a Grandma who was 16 in 1939 too. She died almost 11 years ago at age 90
This is actually the 1944 "Masterpiece Reprint" reissue trailer, using the body of the 1939 trailer [Frank Whitbeck, narrator].
*1949.
The '49 trailer was aimed at ADULTS.
1:16 even here you can still see the crane clear as day. No hanging whatsoever.
1:58 is the most creepiest MGM idents i've ever seen, its even creepier than the paramount ident,
That was seen only in "Masterpiece reprint" trailers of the day.
I love this movie,its absolutly fascinating.:)
I wish the acters were still alive ;-; rest in peace thanks for making my favorite movie of all time
They are in heaven now flying in the sky

@@mcervera96 No, it wasn't. Munchkin was never there. It's obvious he was edited in, over the bird.

Why do you wanna deny reality so badly? Are you that desperate?
Can't wait for this to come out.
They totally just snubbed Margaret Hamilton when they showed the cast.
It's on Cartoon Network right now! :D
I remember watching this film since 2011 and on VHS back in 2013 but I cried at the finale.
I remember watching this in 1997 until the Titanic came out
Honestly, this is a timeless classic and I've always loved it!
Although after reading Dorothy Must Die it's a little strange lol!
when i was in 8th grade we did this as a musical and i was in the top three for dorothy.... the director's daughter got the lead..
omg i absolutly love love this movie i love the scarecrow the best he rocks ;)
Yes, 'Super'- at :37 is a snippet from a deleted sequence where Dorothy and her friends, after the Witch's demise, return to the Emerald City in triumph, with everyone joining in for a reprise of "Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead"...
0:37 my favorite part
I hope they never remake this classic it's my favorite movie of all time
As open as I may be to a new faithful adaption of the original L Frank Baum Oz books, I agree that they should’ve have to be restricted to replicating this film.
Cant believe this movie is almost 80 years old
The Wizard was 70 when this movie was made. He was born in 1869. Were he alive today, he'd be 146 years old! And we can see him whenever we want!
the scene of dorothi and the scarecrow when they dance looks very different.
It's an alternate take.
Does anyone know a link for this movie? Ive been dying to watch it forever!!
back then,it would be hard to learn the lyrics
Is this trailer still in the public domain and or are any of the other reissued trailers are?
Most watched movie of all time for me 👍👍
They used a process called technicolor fairly new back then.
As far as the "hanging munchkin" being true or not I have a digitally remastered VHS from 1999 of movie and what I see is clearly something or someone swinging from a tree. My daughter was 8 at the time I bought the tape and even she noticed it she's the one who showed me. All digitally remastered means is that it is a cleaned up picture and sound it's still the original version.
Really, please post a video of that scene from your copy.
Julie Furaitor Please upload a video and show us. I have a 1989 VHS, and it has the bird on it. Since yours is 1999, and mine is older than that, that proves that mine is the real version. I have it uploaded to my channel if you don't believe me.
Anything is possible when you lie.
You gonna prove anything, Julie?
Here I am in 2024. This trailer was uploaded on my 18th birthday. I’m 31 now
You can tell the lion is a man in a suit
Duh!
And he acts a lot like Bert Lahr, too! ;)
Even then, the fur and makeup still looks impressive for the time. And besides, it’s essentially a fairy tale, anthropomorphism is kinda common.
how many people think this movie still stands well by todays standerds
I sure do.
Honestly it's still a great story to this day

But in all seriousness, *TELL ME THAT'S A MUNCHKIN*
XD hahaha good one
A Heart, Courage, A Brain, was trying to remember that.
Back in 2013, I made a scarecrow made out of dried palm instead of straw
That Proves To me That in 1930's there Were Colored Movies

@TheFantasyCentral Do they have deleted scenes in this movie?
Maybe
The movie which really changed the movie's history ..... universal masterpiece

ANYONE KNOW THIS MOVIE HAS BEEN OUT 72 YEARS AND IT HAS COLORRRR ????
(1:16) If this is the ORIGINAL trailer from the late 1930’s the black hanging munchkin figure should be in the background of this shot, but no, it’s the bird that everyone said was edited in for the remastered version. But this is not the remastered version, the quality is terrible.
Exactly!
@conangvuitinh193 There was a movie in 1908 that had color, forgot its name though
1:20 Scarecrow stumbles over his feet and it does not look like an act you can even see Dorothy's hand push him up like if he saw something that startled him
Okay
Hmmmmm....I'm considering suing the producers for false advertising. The scene at 0:37 does not exist in the film!
The bird is in the original trailer! That disproves the hanging munchkin hoax once and for all, because why would MGM edit something just for a trailer? I rest my case!
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH A BRAIN!!

Great classic. I doubt Oz the Great and Powerful will be near as good. For all I care that movie can be panned by critics.
It wasn't. There's danger is trying to create a "prequel" to a classic story. If you don't get it right.......well, the Disney Company wasn't any more successful with that film than their 1985 SEQUEL, "Return to Oz".
