in keeping with the ‘red shoes’

In L. Frank Baum’s original novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), on which the film is based, Dorothy wears Silver Shoes. However, the color of the shoes was changed to red in order to take full advantage of the new Technicolor film process being used in big-budget Hollywood films of that era.

Interesting the Wizard of Oz analogy as the book was a political allegory about the conflict of the time between the free silver movement and those who supported the Federal Reserve and the gold standard, those who were “following the yellow brick road.” Just interesting it comes up as PTrump about to do something about the Fed.
