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 two 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 "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. This is a THIRD type, which has no printing at all at the bottom. Some experts we have talked to think these are 1939 stills as well, and others think they may be from either the 1949, the 1955, or the 1958 re-release. But one problem with that is that there are also stills from all three of those re-releases that have NSS information in the bottom, and this still obviously does not. So while we think it may well be from 1939, we are not certain, and we have given bidders all the information that we have, and we leave it to them to decide whether it is from 1939 or an early re-release. Please do not bid on this great still thinking it is certainly from 1939, and please read all of the above information before bidding. Condition: good. There are creases and some tears around the edges, with a 1" tear near the middle of the right border. There is tape on the back of some of the tears. Learn More about condition grades
