Side guide

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is America's greatest and best-loved home-grown fairytale. The first totally American fantasy for children, it is one of the most-read children's books... Despite its many particularly American attributes, including a wizard from Omaha, [the 1939 film adaptation] has universal appeal... [143] Because of its many television showings between 1956 and 1974, it has been seen by more viewers than any other movie”. [8] Cruz, Gilbert (August 30, 2010). "The Wizard of Oz". Time.

I will mention a few more things about how I now see this movie as a "growed up" (I'm almost 50): It's interesting how you can see the production values of the time; the lot sets and special effects and so forth. This movie is a powerful example of how a good story overcomes limited means in other areas. Desta, Yohana (February 8, 2017).
