Customer Rating:

Summary: The Wizard has it All.
Comment: "There's no place like home." Dorothy and her friends seek the answer to their desires in a land of dreams and nightmares. Brilliant use of color and sepia. Classic songs, incredible performances and special effects that still hold up today. One of my ten best.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Wizard of Oz - "Better than ever in Widescreen "
Comment: I certainly have enjoyed "THE WIZARD OF OZ" through-out all these years. One thing remains a mystery to me. The original Laserdisc versions had an "extras" feature about the movie. The MGM re-release showed coming attaction trailers that introduced the Movie's arrival again. Even in the Turner Intertainment ( 1989 dvd version) the following trailer indicated:

IF YOU'VE SEEN IT BEFORE... YOU'LL GET A LIFT ALL OVER AGAIN
ALL THE MAGIC. THE SPECTACLE AND BEAUTY... Better than ever in WIDESCREEN ! This is not in reference to the Version that was shown
in Theatres around 1998 either !

Where is the Widescreen Version made mention of in this trailer ?
