(FAQ). The Wizard of Oz FAQ is a fact-filled celebration of the beloved 1939 fantasy masterpiece starring Judy Garland. Its all here from L. Frank Baum and his Oz novels to the complete background story of the movies conception; development; and shoot; with special attention given to the little-known parade of uncredited directors; casting difficulties; and on-set accidents and gaffes; as well as more than 75 sidebars devoted to key cast members; directors; and other behind-the-scenes personnel. Youll find a wealth of fun facts: How MGM overworked Judy Garland before; during; and after Oz; why director Victor Fleming had his hands full with the Cowardly Lion and Dorothys other friends; what it was about Toto that really bothered Judy; the physical horrors of filming in Technicolor; the racial Oz gag that was scripted but never shot; when the Wicked Witch was going to be beautiful; why The Wizard of Oz owes a lot to silent-screen star Mary Pickford; the story of deleted scenes; and a full two weeks of shooting that had to be scrapped; why MGM star Mickey Rooney was part of the movies traveling publicity blitz; how the Wicked Witch was literally blown off her broomstick one day; the place where lions; tigers; and bears really do live together; singers you hear but never see; the day MGM fired Judy Garland; and much more. Just follow the yellow brick road!

If you arent already familiar with the code; do not bother. Without illustrations its very difficult reading.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Needs more accurate product descriptionBy Mo.Unfortunately; this was not the 20% of the code I need. I was not looking for apartment building and shopping mall codes. I bought this based on the product description in the Kindle Store (optimized for mobile phones) which was vague at best. Hopefully this will direct the right person to this book.
