'''Wizard of Oz''', 1939 movie starring [[Judy Garland]], [[Frank Morgan]], [[Ray Bolger]], [[Bert Lahr]], [[Jack Haley]], [[Billie Burke]], [[Margaret Hamilton]] and [[Charley Grapewin]] from the book by [[L. Frank Baum]].  Clara Blandick who plays "Auntie Em" was not named in the opening credits, and it was not until decades later when the ending credits were also broadcast, that many fans discovered who she was.  Also look very closely and you can tell that Frank Morgan was not only Professor Marvel and the Wizard, but he was also the doorman and the cabbie in the Emerald City.

At time 5:15, Glinda says "You don't need to be helped any longer. You're always had the power to go back to Kansas."  Okay so we're supposed to believe now that the Ruby slippers and Dorothy's firm desire and knowledge are all she needs.  So why when Dorothy is finally doing it, at 7:35 is Glinda moving her wand around behind Dorothy's head?  Aha!  I've got you now you lying Glinda!  You're giving her a boost.  (She probably wanted those slippers for herself, we all know they fell off Dorothy's feet on her magical flight back to Kansas.)

At time 6:52 Dorothy says to the Lion, "I'm going to miss the way you used to holler for help before you found your courage."  But the lion '''never did''' holler for help.  He fretted, and whimpered and shook, but never hollered for help.
  
 
At time 8:46 Dorothy, now back in Kansas says "I tried to get back for days and days".  Ok so how come we never see the travelers at night or camping or whatever.  When Dorothy leaves Munchkin City, Glinda tells her that the trip to Emerald City is "a long journey".  Well?  Five miles isn't long, so maybe a hundred miles? They would have had to camp sometime.
