Synopsis:
Judy Garland stars as Dorothy in a musical based on the classic
children's book by L. Frank Baum. When Dorothy's neighbor, Miss Gulch, threatens
to take away Dorothy's precious dog, Toto, Dorothy runs away from home.
Attempting to return, she and her house are caught in a twister and blown to the
garish, color-saturated Land of Oz. The house lands atop Oz's Wicked Witch of
the East, killing her and making Dorothy an instant celebrity. The Wicked Witch
of the West, the sister of the deceased witch, soon arrives and threatens
revenge. Dorothy must escape from Oz by following the Yellow Brick Road to the
Emerald City, where the great Wizard of Oz can help her return to Kansas. Along
the way, Dorothy picks up some new friends--the heartless Tin Man, the brainless
Scarecrow, and the courage-less Cowardly Lion, each of whom hopes that the
Wizard can offer him what he lacks. The long journey to see the Wizard is filled
with dangers and traps planted by the Wicked Witch of the West--as well as lots
of phenomenal musical numbers. Filled with extravagant sets and costumes and 40
minutes of rambunctious song and dance routines, Dorothy's adventures in Oz are
pure delight. The film deservedly holds a precious place in the hearts of
millions.
