In the entire history of world cinema, no other film event has endured quite like that of 1939's "The Wizrd Of Oz". This movie is still a whole lot of fun for all ages, even after over 70 years! What makes this timeless masterpiece so enjoyable is how the characters, the story and the songs are all meshed together so well. The film has many things going for it. The movie begins with earthly-type tones that are filmed in rich sepia-brown colors, giving the images an almost home-like quslity, as if to reflect a much simpler era. After the legendary cyclone sequence, the vision changes to a brilliant technicolor scope, which truly brings out the beauty of the sets and the costumes. Even the visual effects, for 1939 standards, look surprisingly vivid and strikingly sharp. The film stars Judy Garland in her most famous role as Dorothy Gale of Kansas who lives on a farm with her Uncle Henry (Charles Grapewin) and Aunt Em (Clara Blandick), along with three farmhands: Hunk (Ray Bolger), Hickory (Jack Haley) and Zeke (Bert Lahr). In the land of Oz, they are better known as Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion. Margaret Hamilton almost steals the show as the Wicked Witch of the West, one of the most despised movie villains of all time. And, who could ever forget actor Frank Morgan? He has a virtual field day in this show as Professor Marvel, Doorman, Cabby, The Guard and, of course, The Wizard Of Oz himself. "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" deservedly won the Oscar for the Best Song of the year, as did the score composed by Herbert Stothart. "The Wizard Of Oz" reminds us all that "there's no place like home".

When I was a child, living with my parents, I had a copy of the Wizard of Oz. It was a VHS and I watched it all the time. I recently joined ebay and knew I wanted a copy of this for my own. I searched for it and found it! I placed a bid, in hopes of winning and I did! It is the exact same VHS and case as the one from when I was a child. I am so happy and can thank the seller and ebay for making that happen. so, I guess 'there is no place like ebay!'. thank you.

I purchased this for a gift for someone that loves the wizard of oz. What I loved the most is that the seller started the bidding low and was reasonable with shipping cost. The item was used and that was ok. Because it wouldn't be used only once or twice a year again..........WHAT I DISLIKED IS THAT THE SELLER GOT MY MONEY AND NEVER MAILED ME THE TAPE. Poor mistake to do this to honest people. I see by other feedback on this seller that I am not the only one that was taken.

Very good movie with sound and the video.I don't know how old it was.Had a booklet attached with good information.And some scene's at the end to watch.My husband and I learned that Buddy Ebsen(Jed from the Beverly Hillbillie's) was to play a role but sang a song in the movie.Loved the movie I will be 50 yrs old soon and I have a almost 5yr old grandson and a granddaughter due soon and they will watch the movie with Nannye.I do remember when my daughter was between 9yrs old to about 13 yrs old she watched it every day.I should have known everything about the movie but this seemed different.

I really enjoyed this movie growing up and wanted my three year old to watch it with me. She loves musicals and dancing movies. She sat through the whole movie several times, which is hard for her to do. I also loved the old Judy GArland book that came with it.

Classic, wholesome, family entertainment. There are a few "scary" scenes for young children under 5.

First off, I love the movie The Wizard of Oz. I have ever since I was little. I used to have the actual vhs but it somehow got destroyed so I really appreciate having a new tape to call my own. Now that I'm older and can take care of stuff by myself I am really glad to have my own on tape. Being a collector of stuff that I am I can gaurantee you that I will take care of it. I thank you so much for having it on ebay for collectors such as myself.

Ever since I saw the Wizard of Oz for the first time as a child I have been fascinated by it. It is one of my all time favorite classic movies. One night I had my 3 year old granddaughter over night and we were flipping channels on the TV and the end of the Wizard of Oz was on. She had never seen the movie before and every time she came to my house after that she insisted we watch it. It was hard for her to understand that we couldnt watch it again as she didnt really understand the difference between tv/cable movies or VHS/dvd movies. She just knew she had to watch it again. I immediately went on ebay in search of the Wizard of Oz. I didnt realize there were several different copies of the movie so I wasnt sure which one to bid on. I saw the 50th anniversary edition and with the great discription the seller listed and especially the great price, I knew this was the one I wanted. When the package arrived, it was exactly as the seller described and in wonderful condition. I love the extra book of information that came with the special edition movie and most of all I love that the movie is exactly as I remembered it as a child. I gave it to my granddaughter for her birthday and she loves to watch it. I can just see her imagination working as all the characters dance and sing. Thanks to ebay for another great find!

I won't describe this time everlasting splendid movie since Jankp did it perfectly.

I just have a question...why did "Gone with the Wind" (release date Dec. 1939), win most of the Oscars, while this one won half as many (realease date August 1939)?

Seems these two gems became the best the industry can ever hope to produce.

Hurry, you'll want this 50 th. Aniversary Edition for your colletion.

The color is so brilliant, you'll marvel over the technology of that era.
