(FAQ). The Wizard of Oz FAQ is a fact-filled celebration of the
beloved 1939 fantasy masterpiece starring Judy Garland. It's all
here from L. Frank Baum and his Oz novels to the complete
background story of the movie's conception, development, and shoot,
with special attention given to the little-known parade of
uncredited directors, casting difficulties, and on-set accidents
and gaffes, as well as more than 75 sidebars devoted to key cast
members, directors, and other behind-the-scenes personnel. You'll
find a wealth of fun facts: How MGM overworked Judy Garland before,
during, and after Oz; why director Victor Fleming had his hands
full with the Cowardly Lion and Dorothy's other friends; what it
was about Toto that really bothered Judy; the physical horrors of
filming in Technicolor; the racial Oz gag that was scripted but
never shot; when the Wicked Witch was going to be beautiful; why
The Wizard of Oz owes a lot to silent-screen star Mary Pickford;
the story of deleted scenes, and a full two weeks of shooting that
had to be scrapped; why MGM star Mickey Rooney was part of the
movie's traveling publicity blitz; how the Wicked Witch was
literally blown off her broomstick one day; the place where lions,
tigers, and bears really do live together; singers you hear but
never see; the day MGM fired Judy Garland; and much more. Just
follow the yellow brick road
