“Introducing Color to the World” ITF Watch: The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)

Judy Garland’s performance as Dorothy is the stuff of cinematic history, but it came at a cost as director Victor Fleming’s treatment of her is also infamous. In episode 256, Luke & James delve into the unbelievable behind-the-scenes stories, a real-skin suit, the enduring hanging-man myth, and all the other lasting magic of this legendary adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s original children’s novel.
