Description

The Wizard of Oz (MGM, 1939). Insert (14" X 36"). The definitive film adaptation of L. Frank Baum's children's fantasy, MGM's 1939 version of Oz was done as a lavish musical adventure. It stars Judy Garland as Dorothy, an orphan unhappy with her drab black-and-white existence on a Kansas farm. She soon finds herself traveling "over the rainbow" to the Technicolor land of Oz to begin her wonderful adventures there. The Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) and the Tin Man (Jack Haley) soon join her. Offered here is the highly desirable insert poster for this film classic, which prominently shows all the main characters. The poster had one fold separation in the center, a large stain beside the Wizard's (Frank Morgan) head, three tears in the top border and two in the left border, chips in the left border, and surface paper loss on the back. All of this has been expertly restored, including some color restoration to the yellow background, giving the poster a beautiful appearance. Original posters rarely turn up for this title, so here is a wonderful chance to own this rarity. Fine+ on Paper.
