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.

Important Added Info: Note that the reds of the border art and the letters below the title have faded somewhat. This is quite common with original 1939 Wizard of Oz cards, and it is very hard to find one that has bright red in those areas, and many have faded quite more than this particular card. There are water stains in the right of the bottom of the card, mostly in the bottom blank area, and in the word "TECHNICOLOR", but it extends upward into the "O" of "OF" in the title. There are pinholes in the corners and a few minor border defects. Someone put two pieces of clear tape on the back of the top border (likely to attach the card to something), but otherwise this great card has had no restoration whatsoever! Certainly, any talented restorer could improve on the above basically minor defects, and it is likely that the water stains could be removed through chemical means, although I could imagine many collectors being quite happy to display this great card exactly as it is!
