The Wizard Of Oz 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’S Edition (Warner Bros.) A true highlight in digital restoration technology, Warner Bros. restoration of the 1939 classic is cause for celebration. The Technicolor of the late ‘30s looks as though it was shot yesterday, and is especially stunning on Blu-ray, which was produced by scanning each of the film’s original Technicolor camera negatives using 8K resolution. From this scan, a final “capture” master was created in 4K, yielding twice the resolution seen in the master utilized for the film’s previous DVD release. Judy Garland’s Dorothy is charming as ever, and the entire cast: Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, Jack Haley and Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch, are all stellar. Four disc set bonuses include: Sing-along track; Documentaries and featurettes; Two 1914 silent films produced by Oz author L. Frank Baum, based on his stories...

Chicago – The Warner Brothers Blu-Ray release to mark the 70th anniversary of the beloved “The Wizard of Oz” is perhaps the most exhaustive and complete “Collector’s Edition” release to date. Warner Brothers, a studio that knows how to treat their classics, releasing gigantic sets for “Blade Runner” and “Casablanca” in recent years and with another for “Gone With the Wind” coming soon, has done it again, and arguably better than ever.
Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0
As for the film itself, what more could possibly be written about “The Wizard of Oz”? By some standards, it’s the most watched movie in world history, a film that has transcended its genre to simply become a part of the history of the planet. Have you ever heard someone criticize or complain about “The Wizard of Oz”? Me either.

If I only had a brain, I would have asked for The Wizard Of Oz: 70Th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’S Edition (Warner, $69.92) three months before it premiered on DVD last Tuesday instead of three days before. But, like the Cowardly Lion, I lack courage, and couldn’t muster the resolve to ask Warner Home Video for this stellar (and extras-packed) four-disc set so far in advance. If you read Part One of my review, then I guess you have a lot of free time. Speaking of time, I’m running Out of it, so let’s get back on that Yellow Brick Road as I break down the bonus features on Discs Three and Four. (And remember: I Have watched Everything on this whole set! Really!)

Recalling the good old days of Paramount’s rapid, clockwork release of the Trek series on standard DVD, the remastered high-def edition of Star Trek: The Original Series Season 2 (Paramount, Not Rated, Blu-Ray-$129.99 Srp) has arrived and, if anything, puts the first season set to shame. As before, you get both the original 60’s version of each episode, plus the recent remastered featuring brand-new effects work.

In 1939, cinematic history was made in the form of The Wizard Of Oz, and seventy years later, the world will see the film in a whole new light. The film, which has been overlooked by noone, starred the one and only Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale and was directed by Victor Fleming. Wizard Of Oz took viewers through an exotically colorful journey to the land of Oz, and introduced characters such as the Tin Man (portrayed by Jack Haley), the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton), and, of course, the Wizard of Oz (Frank Morgan). Lauded for its incredible translation of L. Frank Baum's masterpiece novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the film was the first of its kind in technicolor and continues to stand arm-in-arm with some of cinematic history's greatest contributions (which also include two other films of that year - namely,...

The Real Wizard Of Oz: The Life And Times Of L. Frank Baum by Rebecca Loncraine (Gotham Books, hc, 352 pp, $28, out today August 20)
Just as the 1939 adaptation entitled The Wizard Of Oz is about to celebrate its 70th anniversary (with deluxe DVD editions next month), there’s a new biography of L. Frank Baum, who created this fantasy landscape in his 1900 book The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz. And it’s quite good—despite my reservations about its scope (as you’ll see five paragraphs from now).
Following Baum (naturally) from cradle to grave, Loncraine paints a picture of an ambitious dreamer whose great expectations didn’t always greet reality. Born in 1856 in upstate New York, he was a youngster in an extended famly haunted by far too many child deaths, a boy who read Charles Dickens and, fascinated by printing, began his own newspaper (the Rose Lawn Home Journal...
