All Singin’, All Dancin’, All Judy: A Cinematic Celebration of Judy Garland – The Wizard of Oz

Curated by Richard Pena, Programming Director, Film Society of Lincoln Center. The Film Society of Lincoln Center joins forces with Guild Hall to present screenings of several of Judy Garland’s best-loved films. In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale travels over the rainbow–via Metro’s whole-cloth, special effects tornado–to revel in Technicolor; to enjoy the Munchkins, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, and Good Witch; to combat the Winged Monkeys, Winkies, and Wicked Witch; and to discover the truths about The Wizard of Oz–and herself. Academy Award winner for Best Song (“Over the Rainbow”) and Best Original Score (Herbert Stothart), plus a special juvenile Oscar for Garland. Talkback to follow with Richard Peña, Scott Foundas and other critics and connoisseurs of Judy Garland.
