@dustbunee2007 Probably, though it could have been black-and-white instead of sepia. And that was how the movie became a classic, so maybe the Technicolor wasn't that important?
i remember meeting someone who thought that the beginning and ending of the wizard of oz should be colorized to fit in with the rest of the film. i facepalmed after that. some people should just stick with modern movies because the old ones clearly go over their head....
@OakPark11MileRd Man, your as dumb as a stump. It's not made up, and why would i make up something like that? To impress people? It's certainly not impressive. Why in the holy mother of fuck would anyone make up a story about having a black and white tv?
@OakPark11MileRd You weren't my mother. end of story. I don't see why your trying so hard to be an asshole over something so stupid as having a color tv or not.
as a kid (born in the early '60's) I only saw Wizard of Oz on black and white TV growing up. (we were very late in getting a color TV.) So when I saw it for the first time in color I was blown away.
@dirongustafson My mom was born in 66, and she only had seen it on a black and white tv until they re-aired it in theaters, and apparently she had the same reaction.
Just read that to achieve the effect in the movie the room was painted sepia and filmed in color, the actress inside the room is not Garland but a stand in, once the shot goes outside the door frame Garland appears in her blue dress. Interesting bit of film trickery.
I'm sure that at least a few people who saw this movie in theaters in 1939 didn't know that the middle section was in color, and were pleasantly surprised at this scene.
Wasn't this about how it would've looked the first few years that the movie was shown on TV?

Very interesting comparison.
I'm sure that at least a few people who saw this movie in theaters in 1939 didn't know that the middle section was in color, and were pleasantly surprised at this scene.
