Of course, my first film was Wizard of Oz. Actually all I remember of that viewing was being terrified of the big head of “Oz the Great and Terrible.” Of course, I’ve seen the film several more times, but mostly I just saw Garland as a teenager stuffed into a little girl dress and preferred her companions. After seeing these clips, I can see the talent that everyone acclaims. And of course, that makes her long decline even sadder. What a voice and what charm!

The podcast was great! I believe my challenge will be to look at this films critically, not just for enjoyment, especially since I’ve seen some of them many times. While it’s hard to carve out the time for the films, I’ll just have to find it somewhere. The podcast helped tie the week together. However, along with others, I wish we’d had some of those tips on critical viewing at the start of the week.

I found the dress a little too feather-y. Earlier Ginger had on a great black dress, but then she’s back in the maribou feathers. And you lose all the body movement that accompanies her foot work.
