#WIZARD OF OZ SCARECROW GUN MOONRAKER 1979 GIRL WITH BRACES MOVIE#

So I can see why kids would be both mesmerized and unsettled by the fantastic adventures. The effects are simply breathtaking, but I can also detect the nightmarish visuals that go beyond the demonic Witch of the West. For once, MGM's habit of over-producing what's on screen really paid off with an appropriately lavish scale. The sets were so imaginative and well done, from poppy fields to enchanted woods to yellow brick road.

I was most impressed by the art and set direction. So what's left to say after 500+ reviews.

I was born the same year the movie came out, but only caught up with it the other night, mainly because musicals are not my usual movie fare. Network airings in the 1990s were uncut and not time-compressed the film aired in a 2-hour, 10-minute time period. CBS, which had shown the uncut version of the film in 1956, and again from the films first telecast until 1968, finally started to show it uncut again beginning in 1985, by time-compressing it. By the 1980s, the other excised shots included: the film's dedication in the opening credits, continuity shots of Dorothy and Toto running from the farm, establishing shots of the cyclone, the aforementioned tracking sequence in Munchkin Land, the establishing shot of the poppy field, and tiny bits and pieces of the trip to the Wicked Witch's castle. Also according to Fricke, more wholesale cutting of the film took place when CBS regained the TV rights in 1975. According to film historian John Fricke, these cuts started with solely a long tracking shot of Munchkin Land after Dorothy arrives there. As the amount of commercial time on network television gradually increased, more scenes were cut. From 1968 to 1984, on NBC-TV and CBS-TV airings of the film, the film was edited to sell more commercial time.
