Mesilla Valley Film Society - The Wizard of Oz (85th Anniversary)
In this classic musical fantasy, Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, a young Kansas farm girl who dreams of a land “somewhere over the rainbow.” Dorothy’s dream comes true when she, her dog Toto, and her family’s house are transported by a tornado to a bright and magical world unlike anything she has seen before. Unfortunately, she makes a mortal enemy of a wicked witch (Margaret Hamilton) when the house falls on the hag’s sister. Now, befriended by a scarecrow (Ray Bolger) without a brain, a tin man (Jack Haley) with no heart and a cowardly lion (Bert Lahr) –and protected by a pair of enchanted ruby slippers–Dorothy sets off along a yellow brick road for the Emerald City to beseech the all-powerful Wizard of Oz (Frank Morgan) for his help to return home.
