The Wizard Of Oz | Year: 1925 Classification: Classics (Silents/Avant Garde) Directed: - Larry Semon Actors/Actresses: - Judy Garland - Dorothy Dwan - Charles Murray - Oliver Hardy Don't Bother For anyone who loves silent movies, this version of "The Wizard of Oz" is not worth your time. For anyone who hates silent movies, this film is excellent support for your position. This movie was made after Frank Baum had died, which is the only reason I can think such incredible license was taken with the original book. A disappointment. Don't waste your time! Folks, don't let the title fool you. This story is only loosely connected to the L. Frank Baum books or the 1939 film that is the definite version. Basically, this is a cornball slapstick-happy tale about 1920s comic Larry Semon fighting for Dorothy's hand in marriage. Filled with bad puns and corny gags (an African-American character is billed as "G. Howe Black"-a real knee slapper ain't it)? The only reason anyone would have to watch this (Baum himself died by this time and had nothing to do with the story) is because of the early appearance of Oliver Hardy as the tin man (and this is not one of his better roles). Nah, see it just for curiousity and read the Baum books or the Judy Garland film for the real deal. Early in the film, a little girl who is having this tale read to her (she must have been really naughty to deserve such punishment) says, "Oh Grampy, I don't like that!" Trust me, you'll say the same. How bad can it be?............Really Really BAD when people write a review and say things like this is the worst movie I have seen I don't usually believe them....I mean come on how bad could it be? Well this one IS the WORST movie I have seen by far........no horrible movie can even compare to how bad this is. In fact if the people who wrote about other movies as being the worst movie they ever seen saw this they would change thier review and appologize. It is so unwatchable and boring that you MUST fast forward while watching if you want to see the whole thing. The music is bad the lady reading the crap to us is bad everything is bad!!! There is a reason this movie is $4 believe me. And no it's not so bad that it is good. If it was flushable I would wipe myself with it and save money on toiletpaper. (This movie doesn't deserve one star I had to give it at least one) If this movie wasn't called the wizard of oz the people who released it would have known not to because they wouldn't have sold a single disk........instead they decided to release it looking for a quick buck for those who are oz fans. If you buy it you WILL be dissapointed. I could have thrown the $4 out the window and been more satisfied!!!
