Just try and stay out of my way. Just try! I'll get you, my pretty and your little dog too!

Rating: 8/10 (3 October 2009)

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is going back to 10 nominations for Best Picture next year. They had that in 1939, and I am sure that is the only way this film got a nomination. It's a great film, but not in the same league as the winner, Gone With the Wind, and even runners-up like Goodbye, Mr. Chips, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Ninotchka, Stagecoach, or Wuthering Heights.
It did, however, win two Oscars for the music. To hear Judy Garland sing "Over the Rainbow" is worth the time spent. I love that song, and can never hear it enough.
It is a colorful, exciting fantasy trip with great music and some fine actors.
