The Wizard of Oz (Blu-ray) Blu-ray, 1939

One of the most famous and beloved films of all time, featuring an utterly beguiling performance by a young Judy Garland. The switch from black and white to glorious Technicolor heightens the magic, which is further enhanced by the delightfully imaginative score, the highlight of which must be the enchanting 'Over the Rainbow'. A film that appeals to generation after generation.

One of the most famous and beloved films of all time. A charming musical fantasy, featuring an utterly beguiling performance by a young Judy Garland, ably supported by a host of tremendous character actors. These talented performers weave an enchanting spell as we follow Dorothy and company, on their journey to visit the Wizard of Oz. The switch from black and white to glorious Technicolor serves to heighten the film’s magic. This is topped off by a delightfully imaginative score that really drives the action forward, the highlight of which must be the enchanting and timeless ‘Over the Rainbow’, a song that only truly captivates when delivered by Garland’s distinctive tones. A film that appeals to generation after generation. RT. < less

Flushed with excitement at being offered a part in the film, she enquired which role she was intended to play. Came the reply, "The witch of course - who else?". JD < less
