| | Notes | B/W. and Colour Included here for the wonderful Munchkins. If I remember rightly around 70 dwarf actors were hired for this film. It has been suggested that there is a therapeutic aspect to this film in that "the characters Dorothy meets can be seen as fragmented parts of her personality which she is on her journey bringing together." There are around 34 versions of The Wizard of Oz both predating and postdating the well-known version. And a full list of the cast including all the Munchkins is at http://imdb.com. For more information read "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" by Aljean Harmetz (Pavilion, 1989).
