The Wizard of Oz 1939 movie: The Wizard of Oz set plagued by serious mishaps and health safety issues
The Wizard of Oz was released in 1939.
It was a standout for its use of Technicolor’s three-strip colour process – using both black and white and colour.
Remember at the start of the Oscar-winning film it’s in black and white?
No?
OK, here’s a recap of the plot in case you need it.
We start with Dorothy, played by Hollywood star Judy Garland, and her little dog Toto living a “colourless” life in Kansas.
When a tornado rips through the state, Dorothy and Toto are swept up in their house and taken to Oz.
