An Original Vintage Theatrical Color Glos 8" x 10" 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 this is a "color-glos" still. This was a special kind of color printing that the studios experimented with in the late 1930s and 1940s. It has a different effect than regular color printing, and color-glos stills were made in both an 8x10 and 11x14 format, primarily only for major releases. They are far more rare than regular color or black & white stills. Note that, in the case of this title (The Wizard of Oz), these color glos stills are FAR more rare than the regular lobby cards from this movie! In the decades I have been collecting, I have only ever seen one of these color glos stills other than the ones offered here. Note that they have a completely different title card from that of the lobby card set, and that the scenes include scenes that were not used on the original lobby card set (although, because they are better scenes, some were re-used on the lobby cards when the movie was re-released in 1949). Condition: very good to fine. The still has a tiny pinhole in the center of the top border and a tiny tear in the center of the bottom border. There is a 1" slightly diagonal faint crease going through the "A" of "MORGAN" and into the black background to the bottom right of it. There are some very faint scuffs scattered through the image. The still has "NATIONAL KLINE POSTER CO. #33233" stamped on the back. Overall, the still is in really nice condition! Note that the still is 100% unrestored in any way!
