First off, one needs to know that this DVD does NOT contain the famous 1939 “Wizard of Oz” film with Judy Garland. Instead, these are earlier films, all silent, based on the Oz books by L. Frank Baum. The author himself started a film company in 1914 to make these, so 3 of the 4 films here, “The Patchwork Girl of Oz,” “The Scarecrow of Oz,” and “The Magic Cloak,” were made in 1914 by his company. The fourth one, “The Wizard of Oz,” is from 1925 and is a comedy version that strays a great deal from the original story. It features an early performance of Oliver Hardy, one half of the Laurel & Hardy duo that formed several years later. These silent films are moderately interesting and clever, and often funny. The picture quality varies a good bit, but overall is good considering their age. The special effects are amazingly good for that era too. All the films are tinted in various colors, sometimes overdone for my taste. As is typical with silent films, these are accompanied by on-sceen text for dialogue and explanations, and all have a musical score throughout. Also, this DVD is a great value as it’s over 4 hours long. In sum, these 4 Oz films cannot be expected to replace the 1939 “Wizard of Oz” with its sumptuous production values including the unforgettable Judy Garland, but these should be seen as additions to that and are worth seeing in their own right.
These movies are a must have for any Oz fan. Fans who are familiar with the other Oz books will be glad to know that at least one of Baums’ sequels was made into a film-”The Patchwork Girl Of Oz”. The film “His Majesty,The Scarecrow Of Oz”(1914)actually inspired Baum to write the book “The Scarecrow Of Oz” a year later in 1915. “The Magic Cloak” was based on a story written by Baum that was not directly related to Oz but due to the success of his Oz creation, the movie was to be set in the land of Oz. The 1925 “Wizard Of Oz” is a movie very distant from the book and MGM version, eliminating some main characters in favor of new ones as well as a different storyline; no pairs of ruby slippers, no munchkins, a yellow brick road or even a witch. The new music dubbed into the movie is good, however it is never matched with any of the action or scenes. It’s about 2 different songs for each movie that keep repeating themselves when the other is done. Each movie is also tinted. “The Patchwork Girl” is tinted a dark yellow-almost orange. “His Majestey, the Scarecrow” is tinted green, “The Magic Cloak” is yellow and “Wizard Of Oz” (1925) is tinted blue. A fun collection of movies for a generous price.
