Behind The Scenes Secrets: The Wizard Of Oz

Actually A Remake?!

The most famous film version of The Wizard of Oz is actually not the first rendition. Actually, the 1939 film was the 10th adaptation of the book, although they did not all tell the same story. Some other versions include The Fairylogue and Radio-Plays, which was a 1908 version which showcased silent film actress Romola Remus. Then there was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was a 15-minute film, made in 1910 and based on the 1902 stage musical. In 1914, The Patchwork Girl of Oz was made by L. Frank Baum’s motion picture company, The Oz Film Manufacturing Company. This story follows different characters than we are used to by the names of Ojo, Unc Nunkle, and Patchwork Girl.
