TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, December 9, 2009
Greetings Infomaniacs,
The other night The Wizard of Oz was on television, so I
ended up sitting down and watching the whole thing. I must
have seen this film a hundred times growing up, but it's
such a classic that I can't help but watch it every so often.
I thought it would be interesting to learn a few fun facts
about the film, so here is what I dug up just for you!
Enjoy!

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is
the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try
again tomorrow."
HINT: (1957-), writer and artist, author of Lean Forward
into Your Life and Live Boldly.

RANDOM TIDBITS
Buddy Ebson, the original actor hired to play the Tin Man,
became very ill from the metallic makeup and was not able
to appear in the movie, but his voice can still be heard
singing "We're off to see the wizard," when Dorothy and her
friends are dancing down the yellow brick road after the
forest scene.
***
In the original book by L. Frank Baum, Dorothy's slippers
were not ruby but silver. The color was changed in the
movie for Technicolor purposes.
***
The horses in Emerald City palace were colored with Jell-O
crystals. The relevant scenes had to be shot quickly,
before the horses started to lick it off.

VIDEO CLIP
The Wizard of Oz - Trailer
We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz!
It's the most beloved American film, often ranked in the
top ten best movies of all-time - The Wizard of Oz! Starring
Judy Garland as Dorothy.

***********************************************************
"Over the Rainbow" was nearly cut from the film; MGM felt
that it made the Kansas sequence too long, as well as being
too far over the heads of the children for whom it was
intended. The studio also thought that it was degrading for
Judy Garland to sing in a barnyard. In 2004, the song was
ranked #1 by the American Film Institute on the 100 Greatest
Songs in American Films list.
***
Meinhardt Raabe, who played the Coroner of Munchkinland, was,
at one time, the shortest licensed pilot in the U.S. During
WWII, he volunteered for military service and was turned
down. He was accepted as a volunteer instructor in the Civil
Air Patrol.
***
The name for Oz was thought up when the creator, Frank Baum,
looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z, hence
"Oz."
