| my mother read the books to me when i was little and coming from a generation where having a movie on Television was a treat i can remember being extremely disappointed in the movie. The main thing being the fact that Dorothy (who is supposed to be, i believe, 8) was played by someone who was definitely NOT 8. Not even close. Originally, Shirley Temple was supposed to be cast but the studio would not lend her so judy Garland got the job. The movie is very different from the book. I think the book should be read first and then the movie. |
