This Friday, January 20th, at 1pm,  my Hutton House Lecture series, 1939 In Technicolor continues at Long Island University: C.W. Post campus, with Victor Fleming’s MGM production of The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Sr., Bert Lahr, and Margaret Hamilton. We will focus on the genesis and production of the film, a screening of the classic, and some visual and audio surprises, including Scarecrow’s Dance (directed by Busby Berkeley), and an unusual version of “If I Were King of The Forest”, which includes a chorus of the song not included in the film.   Lots of other surprises!  We will meet “Over The Rainbow” at 1pm at Lorber Hall, on the C.W. Post campus.
