1.0 out of 5 stars WORTHLESS AMATEUR, April 24, 2009

This review is from: The Yellow Brick Road and Beyond (DVD)

This looks like it was done by several grammar schoolers with a video camera. Many very young Wizard of Oz "experts" giving their opinion. The worse DVD of my colelction!
Buy the Wizard of Oz and that comes with the making of OZ which is excellent.

There's not too much substance here. I know of many Oz experts and I've never heard of any of the "experts"--with the exception of the personalities-- interviewed on this DVD.
