Escapism ping.
“On reviewing 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939) - It is all so well-intentioned, so genial and so gay that any reviewer who would look down his nose at the fun-making should be spanked and sent off, supperless, to bed.”
Quote from above and from imdb.com page on Frank S. Nugent. Go to the link at the next reply. Click on “Trivia.” And check out his screenwriting credits. Very impressive

It's "so gay" that if you don't like it you "should be spanked".
Interesting.

Who in Hollywood in 1939 would have thought at the time that they were standing on the pinnacle of motion picture entertainment? The mountain top. That it would get no better than this. The multitude of stars that graced the pages of the fan magazines of that year forever immortalized.

This is to try out a possible new realtime feature. This is not from 1939. But still good.
