Description

The wonderful, terrifying, beguiling, and marvelous film that gives a shoulder rub to the millions of Americans struggling with impostor syndrome is also one of the landmark Technicolor films. Shot in three-strip Technicolor, THE WIZARD OF OZ’s transition from black-and-white to color - which occurs at a reel change - still makes our heart skip a beat. Rereleased numerous times including a digital 3D IMAX version, Chicago Film Society is pleased to present a 1950s Technicolor reissue print from a private collector.
