A cinematic musical classic

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2017)

The Wizard of Oz defined musicals for the rest of cinematic history. The perfect balance of song and story set the standard for the perfect musical movie after years of Hollywood attempts in the late 1920's. Each song is unique in its approach without becoming out of place, and each song fits the mise-en-scene perfectly. Its transition from sepia tone to full color is charming and appropriate, and the each character is lovable in their own way. The Wizard of Oz is not a movie that could be forgotten.
