It’s just that the astonishing production values all around so overwhelm the shortcomings. I can’t say that “Oz” doesn’t have technical flaws or story element inconsistencies. Perhaps “The Sound of Music.” Hard to think of many Hollywood musicals where the story gets as serious as it does here when the Witch informs Dorothy that, “The last to go will see the first three go before her…and her mangy little dog too!” Yikes! In contrast, even the best of other Hollywood musicals seem to serve up fluffy, forgettable story lines that are mere backdrop to the song numbers that typically put the plot on hold.

When Dorothy stepped out into Technicolor, I’ll bet my eyes just popped. “The following program is brought to you in living color–with portions in black & white–on NBC.” That exclusive intro began my exposure to color television at Grandma’s in 1968. The NBC Peacock began unfolding its wings.
