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 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 three types of Oz stills that are surely first release (if they are on the correct paper, and are not repros, of course). The first type of these are 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. The second type of these are the ones that have no printing at all at the bottom. The third type has the 1939 Loew's copyright within the bottom left corner of the image and a "Made in U.S.A." in the bottom right corner. This still is the first type, and everyone agrees that having this printed information, and being on the right paper, is a guarantee it is from 1939! Even better, it has a stamp on the back from the legendary Cozy Theatre, all the more reason to know it is from 1939! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
