The Wizard of Oz: The Making of the Movie
Thursday, May 9th 12:30 P.M.
We loved the movie The Wizard of Oz as children and still love it today! It was rated one of the best movie classics of all time. This year, we celebrate the 85th Anniversary of the making of the movie! However, what audiences often do not realize, the production path down the yellow brick road was not an easy one. It was hard work that was not always rosy and bright. There was life-threatening danger, sorrow, tears, and disgust, connected to that extremely rocky and bumpy path leading to the Land of OZ.
Historical Presenter, Jim Gibbons, will take you down that yellow brick road with all its twists and turns. Gibbons, in the end, will prove to you that Dorothy was right–there is no place like home! McNabb Library Branch is presenting this program.
