The Wizard of Oz (Silent - 1925)
Loading...
Uploaded by KKD1247 on May 25, 2007
After L. Frank Baum's death in 1919 and the publication of the last Oz book in 1920, L. Frank Baum Jr. sought to keep the series alive by teaming with comedian/director Larry Semon and newcomer Oliver Hardy. The result was the 1925 version of The Wizard of Oz which focuses on comedy rather than fantasy. Hardy would go on to pair with Stan Laurel and become half of the world's most beloved comic team. While different in tone than the Oz movies of a decade before, the 1925 Wizard of Oz reinvents the story of Dorothy, the scarecrow and the tin woodsman in a slapstick and humorous light. That's right: no Judy Garland, no little people and no songs.

I can't hear anything. There goes my sound card...

I like this version better than the 1910 version, even if I might not get to see the whole thing. I never watched the most popular version of the Wizard of Oz (1939), but this is still interesting.

@discountbacon - Oh, you'd be surprised! You can start with "Birth of a Nation" (1915), and keep going into the 40s.

Hate to be picky, but Oliver Hardy had been movies for over a decade by the time he did this movie. Also, he was featured in earlier films with Larry Semon.

the plumed hat guy is an allusion to the then recent Prisoner of Zenda, the grump in the Napoleon hat is a nod to Able Glance's Napoleon

Half the movie is missing, including Oliver Hardy as the tin man

Probably more than half! YouTube only gives us 10 mins. I just wanted to give exposure to this classic..you can find it often in the $1 section of stores for the whole thing. I've found viewers don't tough it out if I split it all into 9 parts of 10 mins each.

Many times, it was simply done by scratching the emulsion off with a pin frame by frame - I think like they did in this version.
