My cousins and I would watch the movie at my aunt and uncles house. Black and white TV. When Dorothy was imprisoned in the castle, my sister and girl cousins would start crying.
Years later, my sister moved to Kansas.
Boy did I have fun with that.
I found a button with Dorothy on it saying:
“Auntie Em. Hate you, hate Kansas, took the dog.”
This movie became a huge hit not from its original theatrical release, but from when it started being broadcast on television - and most viewers at that time would not have even seen or known about the sepia to color changing effects of Kansas v. Oz.
