An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Wizard of Oz, the classic 1939 Victor Fleming family magical fantasy adventure musical ("MGM's miracle musical show of shows!"; "It's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor triumph!"; "Magnificent in its brilliant Technicolor splendor!"; "At Last It's Here Biggest Sensation Since "Snow White"!"; "The mighty miracle show that is the talk of America!"; "Amazing sights to see! The Tornado, Munchkinland, Horse of a Different Color, Startling Balloon Ascent, The Flying Monkeys, The Tree That Throws Apples"; "Gaiety! Glory! Glamour!"; based on the classic book of the same name by L. Frank Baum; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Judy Garland (as Dorothy), Frank Morgan (in the title role as The Wizard of Oz!), Ray Bolger (as The Scarecrow), Bert Lahr (as The Cowardly Lion), Jack Haley (as The Tin Man), Billie Burke (as Glinda, the Good Witch), Margaret Hamilton (as the Wicked Witch), Charley Grapewin, "The Munchkins", and Toto too! Note that MGM was worried about how well this movie would do at the box office, and they did something we don't remember seeing on any other major movie advertising! One of the taglines says "Biggest sensation since Snow White", which means MGM was advertising a Walt Disney movie, but that shows just how worried they were! Of course, they needn't have worried, because this was a timeless classic that has only improved with age. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this still shows an image from the deleted "bee-hive" scene. In the scene, the Wicked Witch causes a swarm of bees to fly out of the Tin-Man, but they can't sting him and leave, except for one on Dorothy's arm which the Tin-Man accidentally kills when grabbing it. The scene was cut after previews and the animated bees were never created/finished. Also, note that it is very difficult to distinguish 1939 first release Wizard of Oz stills from early re-releases. The experts we have talked to about this feel that there are multiple types of Oz stills that are surely first release (if they are on the correct paper, and are not repros, of course). One of these is the ones that have the title at the bottom center, "Copyright, 1939, by Loew's Incorporated" in the lower left, and "Made in U.S.A." in the lower right. Another type of these is the ones that have "Copyright, 1939, by Loew's Incorporated" in the lower left, and "Made in U.S.A." in the lower right, but does NOT have the title of the movie at bottom center. There are a few other types as well, which have either no printing at all at the bottom, or just a small amount of printing. Given that THIS still shows a deleted scene, we feel certain it IS from 1939. Condition: good. Apparently the still was used in a newspaper or magazine, because there are a few dabs of paint on the still, but not near the faces of the stars. There are many creases scattered throughout.
