Adapted from the stage play, not the book. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to see the stage play. So, clear your mind of the Judy Garland version, and be prepared to have fun with this different animal.
It has inter-titles but not nearly enough. Spiffy moving sky effects and hay stack twirling. I want some of the animal suits.
"Blown into the land of Oz." Oz looks a lot like ancient Egypt.
I like the Witchy names Momba (Winifred Greenwood,) the Wicked Witch of the West.
And you cannot see the strings as Glinda the Good (Olive Cox) floats in.
One piece of music, of the version I watched, was "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg in 1875.
The tin woodsman (Alvin Wyckoff) gets oiled. Long before there was WD-40. So, everyone is happy and does a primitive dance with a back flip form the scarecrow.
After watering the witch, they make it to the Emerald city of Oz. The front gate has a face on it that reminds me of the march into the machine in Metropolis (1927).
I know it was ancient Egypt as the camels and the Nubians show up at the last moment.
Too bad it was such a short presentation.
