Wizard of Oz is a remake?

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2014)

I was very disappointed to find out that the original Wizard of Oz was filmed in 1925. Thereby revealing this film was not only a remake, but the story line had been altered. Uncle Henry was supposed to be a bad guy. Dorothy was supposed to be a princess, and originally from Oz. After watching the original, it takes away from the 1939 remake. Has anyone ever seen the all black-and-white 1939 version? I remember watching this movie as a teenager. I spent time trying to track down the munchkin that supposedly hung himself on set, and other urban legends. The worst part was the movie being released on DVD, for those that wanted to believe the legends were true. It revealed that not only were these legends false, but brought out other flaws in the film. I would like to see the original film receive at least some credit.
