I’m feeling just the opposite. Last year I sent Universal Pictures an email. I suggested that the entire cast be made up of modern-day Munchkins. After all, it worked before.

My email was rudely ignored.

So I hope the movie fails. Universal Pictures deserves it.

The Lollipop Guild member on the right, wearing the blue shirt, was played by an actor named Kurt "Harry Doll" Schneider (April 3, 1902 - May 4, 1985).

He had an interesting career, and in the 1960s also worked in the aerospace industry - specifically, for Aerojet General Corp. (his small stature made it possible for him to crawl into narrow rocket housings).

Regards,
