Judy Garland provides the big, plaintive voice as Dorothy, while companions Tin Man (Jack Haley), Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), and the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) are pure knockabout vaudeville fun, in this criminally entertaining musical adaptation from L. Frank Baum’s treasured series of Oz books, which leaps from bleak black-and- white Kansas to ruby slippers-and-yellow brick Technicolor. Why? Because, because, because, because.
"THE WIZARD OF OZ is a film with very great power," says David Lynch. "And it’s to be expected that it has stayed with us for many years and that we find its echoes in our films for such a long time after. THE WIZARD OF OZ is like a dream and it has immense emotional power. There’s a certain amount of fear in that picture, as well as things to dream about. So it seems truthful in some way."
"But I've been scared of those monkeys all my life."
