Everything you ever wanted to know about the making of The Wizard of Oz is here.

This engaging documentary explores the creation of MGM’s beloved Technicolor classic, from its lavish production and original New York premiere at the Capitol Theatre to its celebrated place at the February 1940 Academy Awards—where Gone With the Wind reigned supreme.

Narrated with warmth and elegance by Angela Lansbury, the film traces the history of L. Frank Baum’s Oz stories, the casting decisions behind the iconic characters, and the challenges faced by the cast and crew under the blazing Technicolor lights. Ray Bolger and Jack Haley recall the punishing makeup and costumes that made even eating at the studio commissary an ordeal, while Judy Garland, seen in rare television clips, humorously embellishes tales from the set—prompting daughters Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft to note their mother’s legendary wit and playful exaggeration.

Director Mervyn LeRoy discusses the evolution of the production and the decision to place the film in the hands of Victor Fleming, following earlier involvement by Richard Thorpe and George Cukor. Vintage footage captures Garland and Mickey Rooney besieged by fans and photographers at Grand Central Station during their personal appearances at the Capitol Theatre, as well as their visit with Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Highlights include Garland receiving her special Academy Award for Best Juvenile Performance.

Packed with revealing behind-the-scenes stories, the documentary details Buddy Ebsen’s near-fatal Tin Man makeup ordeal that led to Jack Haley’s recasting, and Margaret Hamilton’s harrowing account of the accident that left her severely burned during the Wicked Witch’s fiery exit. The film also reveals early abandoned concepts for the Witch—including makeup tests with Gale Sondergaard—and demonstrates how the legendary cyclone effect was achieved.

Illustrated throughout with memorable scenes from the film, this documentary is an affectionate, informative celebration of one of cinema’s most enduring fantasies—essential viewing for anyone who has ever followed the Yellow Brick Road.

Very Nice End Table! Sturdy!
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2, Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2
These are great tables, especially to use along side a recliner and couch. They're easy to put together. Follow the directions! Everything you need is in there including the screwdriver!! Lay it on its side on the floor when your building it, tighten all the tabs a half turn and did I mention?... never use power tools when building small furniture like this. once they're done, you'll love them... there's a nice drawer to keep things in -- remotes, etc It's pretty, sturdy, I bet will last a long time. ♡

Nice Side Table
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 1
This is a nice side table. The assembly hardware is of good quality. The wood product finishes are very nice and the pieces assemble solidly. The instructions are easy to follow except for the drawer slides where a little more concentration is needed . . . or maybe it’s just me.

Nice and sturdy side table but the white is not white
Color: Farmhouse White, Number of Items: 2, Color: Farmhouse White, Number of Items: 2
This is a nice-looking and sturdy side table. We found it easy to assemble. It works well in small spaces. Be sure to check the dimensions so you aren’t surprised by how narrow and long it is. The drawer is small, but big enough to hold some remotes or other small items. We ordered the white with brown top. Unfortunately, it definitely is not white but more of an ivory or cream color.

Great table!
Color: Espresso, Number of Items: 1, Color: Espresso, Number of Items: 1
Just what we were looking for! The table was well made and went together very easily (my husband and I did it in well under an hour). We were very pleased with the quality of the wood. The only thing I would suggest to the company is that the glide parts weren’t labeled with stickers like every other part was. That would have been a big help.
