Somewhere Over the Rainbow

The Wizard of Oz
1939 Nominee

100 Words
Dorothy gets a big bump on her head during a tornado and ends up in Oz. You know the story. Teenage girl murders a witch and then plots with her friends to murder the other witch so she can get back to Kansas, of all places. But there’s no place like home. Does water melt all witches, or just the green kind? Anyway, she had the red slippers on her THE WHOLE TIME! And both Dorothy and the witch went through hell during the shoot, which proves that beyond the technicolor, things are often a lot darker over the rainbow.

    By the way, I loved the witch in “League of Their Own.”

    All was not colorful on this set; I encourage readers to pry into the behind the scenes stories of what went on during the shooting of this epic film. Can you believe the three words they use to describe the story on the poster? Gaiety Glory and Glamour? Wow.
