Overrated

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2007)

I first saw this movie when I was about 7 or 8. When I was younger I never realised Miss Gulch was meant to be The Wicked Witch or Hunk (was that his name?), Hickory and Zeke were Tinman, Lion and Scarecrow. I think Over The Rainbow is a great song but I find it a bit gloomy. I've heard that Shirley Temple was considered for the role of Dorothy Gale, to be honest I can't really see Shirley playing Dorothy. I think it was out of order that Victor Fleming (director) slapped Judy Garland. I loved the dog Toto. I enjoy watching this but I have to say this is overrated compared to other Judy Garland movies (Easter Parade, The Harvey Girls, Meet Me In St Louis, etc)
