Movie Screening "The Wizard of Oz"

The most famous and commercially successful adaptation of L. Frank Baum's famous novel. It was the most expensive production of its time, featuring luxurious costumes and sets. Today, the film looks a bit cringy due to the 17-year-old actress in the lead role (by the way, she is the future mother of Liza Minnelli), but it's still interesting to watch.

The reputation of "The Wizard of Oz" as the "first color film" is incorrect. However, color filming was quite rare at that time, and instead of color film, an expensive and complex technology called "Technicolor" was used: each scene was shot simultaneously on three black-and-white films through red, yellow, and green filters.

2 Oscars (plus 4 nominations). One of the first films to be included in the National Film Registry. According to the Library of Congress, it is themost-viewedd film in the history of cinema.
