 Rating:  - Three charming movies, plus one atrocityThe enduring popularity of Frank L. Baum's WIZARD OF OZ books owes a great deal to the classic 1939 film adaptation starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Margaret Hamilton, and Frank Morgan. But there have been numerous adaptations of the Oz books made before and after this movie milestone. This collection consists of four of the earlier adaptations. In 1914 Frank L. Baum formed The Oz Film Manufacturing Company with the express purpose of producing live-action versions of his stories. THE PATCHWORK GIRL OF OZ, HER MAJESTY THE SCARECROW OF OZ, and THE MAGIC CLOAK OF OZ -- all from 1914 -- are surprisingly ambitious for independent productions of this nature. What they lack in big-studio polish they make up for ...

Rating:  - Great gift for MothersI got this for my mom, I think that the look on her face when she got it makes the price on Amazon 100% worth it and more. She's a major fan of the Wizard of Oz movie and books. So this was the perfect present for her. Rating:  - wizard of oz 4 movie collectionsI did not like the video at all due to the fact that it was not like the original movie at all. It showed it in the old, old, type of movie, fast movements, no sounds, had to read fast what they were saying. Was nothing like the original movie. I also ordered the original movie, The Wizard of Oz and was lost in the mail and was to be credited but have not yet seen the credit. Rating: - The author as filmmakerIn 1914, L. Frank Baum, author of 15 "Wizard of Oz" books, started his own film company. Baum scripted and oversaw production on all the Oz movies. Life-size puppets were used for some characters, while actors often portrayed various roles from film to film. The first three titles in this set are of particular interest, for these are how the author himself wanted his classic children's books to appear on theater screens. They are certainly a LOT different than the 1939 MGM movie and yet, still seem familiar. SYNOPSES: "The Magic Cloak of Oz" - Woven by fairies, the magic cloak will grant a single wish to the unhappiest child in Oz. Violet MacMillan portrays King Timothy-- later she would be Dorothy.
