He was in the 1902 stage extravaganza based on "The Wizard of Oz," which he starred in for about five years with his comedy partner David Montgomery as the Tin Woodman. Bolger was born in 1904, so was never able to see that show, but he did see Stone in a one-man show years later, and was amazed by Stone's loose-limbed dancing, and made up his mind that he would be a dancer.

@@ScottSavageTechnoScavenger His voice is so dreamy! As I have said multiple times on multiple Oz videos, Jack Haley was the perfect choice for the role.
Everyone talks about the Lion and the Scarecrow but I just love The Tin Man. He was gentle, yet funny as well. The way he said his lines was extraordinary. "You see your honor, a while back we were walking down the yellow brick road.....". Then his reaction when the Wizard tells him to shut up!! Hahahahaha! And of course Judy was absolutely perfect....they all were!
Jack Haley used that same breathy voice to read to his son at night. A fine actor and a better choice for Tin Man (my fav character), than Buddy Ebsen.

my favorite part of this movie is the part where the Lion says he's going to charge into the witches castle then he tells the other two: "there's only one thing i want you to do for me!" the others: "What's that?" Lion: "Talk me out of it..."
"I am OZ, the great and powerful. Who are you?! Who are you?!!" Frank Morgan does an outstanding job with these lines. He invokes an atmosphere of intimidation, superiority, and fear directed at the foursome. (The product being control by the wizard of the situation) From my perspective as a boy growing up in the '60s, I was more terrified of this scene than any other. Okay, maybe the appearance of the Wicked Witch into Munchkin Land was a bit more scary.
Even more effective on the big screen! As I'm sure you know Frank Morgan was a lesser known actor of the time but yep he sure was fantastic here! Would it have been quite the same if the great WC Fields had accepted? One never knows ....🤔

Read the book sometime; he actually appeared to each member of the party in a different form. To the Scarecrow he appeared as a lovely fairy woman, to the Tin Woodman as a horrible beast, and to the Cowardly Lion as a ball of fire.

He did NOT want to know about what was different in the book: they weren't ruby slippers, they were rescued from the poppies by field mice--it wasn't all a dream!, etc etc. "No! No!

@@bookerjones8123 Bit of an extreme reaction. Why didn't he want to know? Most people are curious to have the full story. I'd have thought that at least the idea of Oz being real would appeal to him.
Judy was so amazing as a performer. Her "Dorothy" will always be the role that changed everything for her & stayed true to her spirit even in those rough times. Always makes me sad about how MGM and her mother treated her and us causing to leave us too soon. Can't believe last year she would have turned 100!!
@@manuelorozco7760do you know what I just love Judy Garland she was looking she was beautiful and wonderful young lady girl Pop out side effects of really remember reel thing
She wasn't maltreated while making this movie, and her accidental death had more to do with personal issues than professional ones; she had left MGM years before.
The way the studio treated her is appalling. They kept on her about how "fat" she was. She looks incredibly beautiful to me. I think that's part of why she stayed so rail thin into her adulthood. The abuse stuck with her. It's disgusting and frankly it taints my viewing experience of this movie now knowing how she was treated.
@@JessePinkman-t5o No, they didn't. She just needed her curves tamed in order to play a child. But if you look at her other movies, she was quite curvy.
I haven't seen this film in over 10 years and I'm genuinely and happily surprised with its sense of humour. I mean it's really good, better than most recent comedy movies.
It's George RR Martin , full of shit and broken promises . Even the following dialogue is him to a T! He makes impressive promises but he's a bad writer who can't ever finish anything and his reputation out sells his real skills, by far.. unlike the wizArd though, he let his retarded fanbase (not the smart ones who know it's his fault and his ending cause we actually know he wouldn't sign the work away without his endings/ big plot beats, he said it himself, dumb fucks, take a hint) and the people who made him famous. Grrm is a coward and a hack!
Victor Vaz No way, this scene is actually the scariest plot twist of all. The whole time, the journey is to meet this "great, wonderful wizard" who will fix all of the problems, save the day. He's the happy ending the movie was building toward...then, surprise! He's scary, he's cruel! He's not going to help our heroes until they go on a suicide mission and bring back payment. It took the story in a whole new direction. I mean damn, I was shocked as a kid :P
+Brandon Hickman Hill *shrug* I never took it that way. I don't recall whether I read the book first or saw the movie, but of course in the book he's not known as "the Great and Powerful," but as "the Great and Terrible." Most of his subjects are wary of him, if not actually afraid, but they know him as a wise and just ruler and they live in peace, happiness, and security. In any case, and certainly upon reflection, this humbug wizard would naturally want to appear as impressive as possible.
Old people like me view this as a pivotal film. Back when there were only 3 tv stations, people waited for this movie to play, it only played once per year, there was no way to record it so if you missed it you had to wait a year to see it again. The special effects of this vintage film impress modern day filmmakers because everything in this film was done manually with no digital help because it didn't exist. Everything done in this film took weeks and even months longer to accomplish because again there was no such thing as a green screen back then. You can mock all you want, but this film represents massive labor and was so difficult to shoot they went through 3 different producers getting it done.
I am going to be the first one in El Paso, TX to buy the 75th Anniversary,"The Wizard of OZ"! Hearing Judy Garland sing, "Some were over the Rainbow" when I was 5yrs old, Is Why I became a singer and love acting as well!!
I still can’t believe this was made in 1939, even the acting seems much more advanced and humorous and natural than that time period. The performances in this film are one of the many things that make this one of the best films of all time, and a timeless masterpiece.
I realized later in life that the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion were friends of Dorothy's in Kansas before the twister hit her home and transported her to Oz. They were the really funny guys who talked to Auntie Em at the farm. Dorothy felt as if she knew them in Oz because she had encountered them before.
I'm not against CGI (I wouldn't have wanted a stop-motion "Jurassic Park") but it can make filmmakers lazy. This scene is just set design and fire and smoke and epic imagination.
@@slayyyder sometimes it may take longer sure, but that doesn't mean it's better. Practical effects give an effect that can't really be replaced by CGI. In some cases CGI is best. But watch movies like The Thing or From Beyond and it's hard not to recognize that practical effects (in some cases) produce an effect which are at once more convincing and far more charming and magical feeling than CGI ever could be.
@@peterheimsoth159 I was only just a baby. I saw Beauty And The Beast first and then Wizard Of Oz. I thought they were one and the same because Belle and Dorothy’s dresses look a bit similar
@@manuelorozco7760 I suppose to a baby one big hairy critter looks much like another. 🙂 Of course, I didn't ask which version of B&B you saw; in the immortal French movie by Jean Cocteau, the Beast does closely resemble a lion.
There's something so fascinating seeing a movie like this which is now 84 years old, wow! Everyone in this movie is long gone, I mean.. world war 2 had only just started. Yet here I am, watching this all these year's later. Just fascinating
2:18 My favorite part of the scene. Dorothy standing up for a creature that was terrorizing her just a while back. The courage and heart Lion and Tin Man thought they were lacking, she already had in spades.
What you may not know is in the original novel, Dorothy was no damsel in distress. She literally rescued herself, defeated the witch by herself, and saved her friends who were captured or, in Scarecrows case, torn to shreds and had to be repaired. Keep in mind the book came out in 1900, when 1st wave women's rights movements were barely even a thing. And the author was a man.
This was the scariest scene for a young boy when I saw it in the '60s on TV. We used to make Jiffy Pop popcorn when CBS would air it in February on a Sunday every year.
I don’t understand why Scarecrow is so scared in this scene when he said to Dorothy when they first met that he is not afraid of anything except a lighted match.
Nor in the book, but since the main quest of the story is toward him, it makes sense. I mean, Sauron has almost zero "screen time" in "The Lord of the Rings."
I remember being kind of a dense child the first time I saw this movie, and asking, every time one of Frank Morgan's characters came up, if they were the Wizard. And then we reached this part, and I thought, "Oh yeah, that's DEFINITELY the Wizard!"
Just remember to do your own thing and not just copy Frank Morgan. I played the Cowardly Lion and worked hard to evoke Bert Lahr while putting my own spin on the character.
It's George RR Martin , full of shit and broken promises . Even the following dialogue is him to a T! He makes impressive promises but he's a bad writer who can't ever finish anything and his reputation out sells his real skills, by far.
@@SillyCreatureSally Close! My qoute was from the Oz head scene in the musical Wicked. It probably has a lot of the same qoutes as the book, so could be 🙂🙃
@@SillyCreatureSally Oh yeah. I mean it does mention the wizard, the lion Dorothy and the wicked witch, and the whole story goes along with Dorothys journey, but yeah your kinda right tbh I need to re-read original wizard of oz
It's Jiminy Crickets, and it isn't "Dorothy's catchphrase," it's a term that had been in use for years and years. It's a bowdlerization for a certain sacred name.

MaskedMan66 Eh, can’t say i didn’t like it, but it wasn’t as good as the original. But that’s like all remakes, I suppose
It went over my head as a kid but his use of alliteration was funny

LOL THIS MADE MY DAY
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This amazes me! I always wonder how they done this way before computers! They did an excellent job on this movie!! :)
Over 75 years and I'd still stack this scene up against any from any other fantasy film made.
I'm not against CGI (I wouldn't have wanted a stop-motion "Jurassic Park") but it can make filmmakers lazy. This scene is just set design and fire and smoke and epic imagination.
@@bookerjones8123 It still requires human imagination and design to come up with CGI images. :-)
@@bookerjones8123 i’m late but a lot of times cgi takes a lot longer to do than practical effects
@@slayyyder sometimes it may take longer sure, but that doesn't mean it's better. Practical effects give an effect that can't really be replaced by CGI. In some cases CGI is best. But watch movies like The Thing or From Beyond and it's hard not to recognize that practical effects (in some cases) produce an effect which are at once more convincing and far more charming and magical feeling than CGI ever could be.
Nothing beats this scene in fantasy cinema.
I love how the wizard just went “enough” like “stop talking already, yeesh you’re throwing off my vibe here!”
my favorite movie of all time!
Oz: Who are you?!
Also Oz: Summons everyone by name.
LPSKirbyButton 2 months ago Oz Who are you. Also Oz Sumons everyone by name
Probably because Dorthy isn’t from Oz
No, he summoned them by what they obviously were.
Lion: but what if she kills us first
Wizard: I said go !!
*Lion bolts and jumps out window* 🤣🤣

0:50 If you please, I am dorothy gale. And these are my friends, Scarecrow 👨🌾, Tin man 🤖 & lion 🦁
Not even close
The Wizard always scared me more than the Wicked Witch of the West ironically.
Bert Lahr really gives off the scared little kid feeling perfectly in this scene, especially in the beginning.
I used to think the Lion was the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. But now that I’m older, you’re right
@@manuelorozco7760 I don't see how you could make that kind of a mistake, especially since the Beast isn't a lion.
@@peterheimsoth159 I was only just a baby. I saw Beauty And The Beast first and then Wizard Of Oz. I thought they were one and the same because Belle and Dorothy’s dresses look a bit similar
@@manuelorozco7760 I suppose to a baby one big hairy critter looks much like another. 🙂 Of course, I didn't ask which version of B&B you saw; in the immortal French movie by Jean Cocteau, the Beast does closely resemble a lion.
@@peterheimsoth159 I was referring to the Disney version of course
Best scene ever
There's something so fascinating seeing a movie like this which is now 84 years old, wow! Everyone in this movie is long gone, I mean.. world war 2 had only just started. Yet here I am, watching this all these year's later. Just fascinating
It’s one of those movies I come back to once in a while
It started a few weeks after this movie came out, but on the very day that _The Woman_ and _The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes_ were released.
I feel bad for the lion. They're all scared but he's literally there because he has no courage. 😂
2:18
My favorite part of the scene. Dorothy standing up for a creature that was terrorizing her just a while back. The courage and heart Lion and Tin Man thought they were lacking, she already had in spades.
What you may not know is in the original novel, Dorothy was no damsel in distress. She literally rescued herself, defeated the witch by herself, and saved her friends who were captured or, in Scarecrows case, torn to shreds and had to be repaired.
Keep in mind the book came out in 1900, when 1st wave women's rights movements were barely even a thing. And the author was a man.
I love this movie so much!
This part scared the frick out of me
This was the scariest scene for a young boy when I saw it in the '60s on TV. We used to make Jiffy Pop popcorn when CBS would air it in February on a Sunday every year.
I am in love with Jack Haley right now lol hes funny
Yeah, I have a massive crush on him... HE'S SO CUTE!
Love this art deco era scene.
Isn't that set fantastic? The whole look of the Emerald City is incredible.
That's cause it was made in the art deco era, numb nut
I don’t understand why Scarecrow is so scared in this scene when he said to Dorothy when they first met that he is not afraid of anything except a lighted match.
I’ll never know
Well, Oz was using flames as an effect.
The beneficent Oz has every intention of granting your request!
What's that? What he say!?
😂😂😂
But first, you must prove yourselves worthy by performing a very small task! Bring me the broomstick from the Witch of the West!
@@jaredruff9823 Yeah that sure wasn’t a “small task”
She looks so cute here. The Lion is very funny in this scene.
I always found it interesting that even though he’s the titular character, he doesn’t have much screen time
I sometimes think the movie have been called Dorothy in Oz
Nor in the book, but since the main quest of the story is toward him, it makes sense. I mean, Sauron has almost zero "screen time" in "The Lord of the Rings."
@@manuelorozco7760 The book was called "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," so it would have been a bit silly to do that.
@@peterheimsoth159 Point taken then
@@manuelorozco7760 Now, mind you, the fourth book in the series was called "Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz." 🙂
Scarecrow bowing down to oz of the great an powerful
My favorite movie ever since I was a little 👧girl but I got the DVD.
I remember being kind of a dense child the first time I saw this movie, and asking, every time one of Frank Morgan's characters came up, if they were the Wizard. And then we reached this part, and I thought, "Oh yeah, that's DEFINITELY the Wizard!"
Well, you had the actor right!
Poor lion & He made me laugh & He Faint. lol
But you'll notice he snapped awake when the Wizard said he'd do what they wanted. :-)
Add a public relpy.... lngrid Caldron 4 yreas ago Poor lion & He made me laugh He & Faint. lov
A classic movie if there ever was one.
Humdinger of a scene and that great marble floor...must've taken set labor hours to polish.
Yea tons of polish by the looks of it
1:22 my man roasted the Tin Man so bad he started to melt.
Well, don't go randomly mentioning Jack Haley. Otherwise I'LL melt.
I'm playing the wizard of oz in a play so this helps
Just remember to do your own thing and not just copy Frank Morgan. I played the Cowardly Lion and worked hard to evoke Bert Lahr while putting my own spin on the character.
How did it go?
Yeah me too
oh same, also, thanks for the 2nd hand advice :)
It's George RR Martin , full of shit and broken promises . Even the following dialogue is him to a T! He makes impressive promises but he's a bad writer who can't ever finish anything and his reputation out sells his real skills, by far.
The tin can man needs a heart but the wizard needs one too.
The Tin Man has a heart already.
I'm pretty sure the tin man, the scarecrow and the lion all need clean shorts as well.
The set design in this movie is fantastic, especially for 1939!
What do you mean "for 1939?" That was the golden age of movie making! :-)
Amazing film. What an amazing psychedelic ride

Is that a reference to the book? In which the Tin Woodman was NOT lying about his backstory? ;)
@@SillyCreatureSally Close! My qoute was from the Oz head scene in the musical Wicked. It probably has a lot of the same qoutes as the book, so could be 🙂🙃
@@rubymabelclairepearl Well, Wicked is not canon to anything. It does actually work, but only by itself.
@@SillyCreatureSally Oh yeah. I mean it does mention the wizard, the lion Dorothy and the wicked witch, and the whole story goes along with Dorothys journey, but yeah your kinda right tbh
I need to re-read original wizard of oz
@@rubymabelclairepearl Enjoy, then!
Jimmy Crickets? Walt Disney must've named that Pinocchio's cricket character from Dorothy's catchphrase.
It's Jiminy Crickets, and it isn't "Dorothy's catchphrase," it's a term that had been in use for years and years. It's a bowdlerization for a certain sacred name.
