Talk about iconic - this is Hollywood at its penultimate!

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2006)

First, acknowledge the importance of WIZARD OF OZ from any point of view, especially in terms of film history, artistic achievement, complete and utter fantasy, cultural icon. The only thing we can hope for is that one day sometime soon someone will aim to achieve a film like this one. While it is true that the oft repeated theme "There's No Place Like Home," is a wishful proclamation both simplistic and conventional, everyone can take pleasure instead in its myriad of sublime details, foremost Judy Garland's performance, indeed, the entire cast's, as well as the unforgettable story, songs, cinematography, sets, costumes, lighting, sound, etc. Hollywood craft at its best.
