Maybe thats just what the dude tells people and it really is my version OZ being a symbol for ounces? And yes I did know about the shoes being silver because like I said, people think it was a metaphor with the silver shoes on the golden road.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying, you MIGHT not be right.Katie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14001442168725501108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133372204504814993.post-6325746702634250022008-09-24T18:58:00.000-04:002008-09-24T18:58:00.000-04:00Why doodlebug, aren't you a smart little cookie!!!...Why doodlebug, aren't you a smart little cookie!!!!!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13919321470714412274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133372204504814993.post-60104026726385542832008-09-24T18:36:00.000-04:002008-09-24T18:36:00.000-04:00Oh and Margaret Hamilton who played the wicked wit...Oh and Margaret Hamilton who played the wicked witch of the west burned her face when she drops through the floor in the fireball during the Munchkinland scene that's in the movie. <BR/><BR/>Also Buddy Ebsen (Jed Clampitt from the Beverly Hillbillies) was the original pick for the Tin Man. MGM didn't know how to costume the part and they tried a variety of materials eventually settling on aluminum dust applied over clown white to his skin. He'd finished all his costume and makeup tests, recorded his songs for the soundtrack and finished many weeks of rehearsal when he was rushed to the hospital and placed in an oxygen tent when his lungs failed! He had an allergic reaction to the aluminum dust that left him barely able to breathe.Doodlebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574134064376717048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133372204504814993.post-80226284754118385942008-09-24T18:29:00.000-04:002008-09-24T18:29:00.000-04:00More great quotes!Wicked Witch of the West: You cu...More great quotes!<BR/><BR/>Wicked Witch of the West: You cursed brat!

They changed it for the movie because the red looked better in Technicolor. The Wizard of Oz was the first movie to be released with Technicolor technology.Doodlebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574134064376717048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133372204504814993.post-6905254693608426222008-09-24T18:24:00.000-04:002008-09-24T18:24:00.000-04:00OZ did in fact come from the filing cabinet.

One of the kids asked him what the name of the Magic Land was, and he didn't know what to say - so he looked around the room and saw his filing cabinet with the letters "O-Z". There you have it!Doodlebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574134064376717048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133372204504814993.post-64263544835197710342008-09-23T18:45:00.000-04:002008-09-23T18:45:00.000-04:00I LOVE the Wizard of Oz!

There certainly are some great lines from that movie, too. I'm not sure I like all the political analysis - I just think it's a fun movie to watch!
