Simply Unforgettable

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2003)

What can you say about a film that to this day is played yearly without skipping a beat? In a word: Unforgettable. I'm not much for musicals but this film truly is a work of art that can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike. The cinematography, especially for its time is downright remarkable. Judy Garland is forever immortalized and rightly so as her portrayal of Dorothy Gale cannot be imagined with no one but her(Shirley Temple??? c'mon!!!no way!!!). To do a remake of this film would be blasphemy for nothing can be added or deleted. The supporting cast of Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, and Jack Haley are remarkable as well. When they say" they don't make them like they used to",this film is a fine example. Judy was so adorable. I get a soft spot when I think about her. A true classic.
