Not just for kids

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 1999)

For those of you who think this movie is purely kid-stuff - think again! Although most people see this movie by age 6, it is great fun for everyone. "The Wizard of Oz" boasts high production values and a timeless story based on the pre-eminent American fairytale by L. Frank Baum. As Dorothy Gale, Judy Garland plays her most memorable role, and does a fine job. Bert Lahr also deserves accolades for his comedic performance as the Cowardly Lion. "The Wizard of Oz" is ablaze with color, and luxurious sets from the Art Deco splendor of the Emerald City, to the brilliantly colorful Munchkinland. "The Wizard of Oz" is move-making in it's prime. Go see it as soon as possible.
