Road to Oz
Road to Oz
Tantalizing highlights of the text include:
* A thorough synopsis of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) and the script, inspired by the book, of the 1903 Broadway musical-comedy extravaganza.
* An overview of the plots of prior silent film adaptations of Oz and how they influenced the M-G-M film.
* An analysis of newly-discovered audio transcriptions of Wizard of Oz radio programs from 1931-32 and 1937-38-all of which were previously unknown.
* A complete accounting of Sam Goldwyn's proposed (and aborted) 1934 Technicolor musical version of Oz starring Eddie Cantor (including commentary from Cantor's sole surviving child).
* A thorough analysis of the October 10, 1938 M-G-M shooting script (provided by descendants of comedian and Cowardly Lion actor Bert Lahr) that predates the beginning of production by seventy-two hours.
* Startling revelations about the operetta that seemingly inspired "Over the Rainbow."
* Judy Garland's trials and tribulations with the studio, including the threat that M-G-M was grooming a sound-alike who tested for Oz.
* The supporting player who was cast in two roles in Oz's fantasy sequence-the second role revealed for the first time in Scarfone and Stillman's text.
* The Munchkin midgets' pre-1939 Wizard of Oz connection.
* Oz's film editor with a direct connection to Walt Disney and Snow White.
* Studio nepotism, favoritism and politics at the height of Hollywood's golden age on the making of the world's most famous film.
