Funny, sentimental, sincere - it's a masterpiece that I've been in love with since I was a little kid. The longest-running Broadway show of this century plays off the most popular Hollywood movie of the last century.

If I had to single out one thing about it I love more than the memorable characters played by an ideal cast, exuberant Arlen & Harburg songs, delightful story, and beautiful sets, costumes, and matte painting backdrops, it would be the vibrant and rich Technicolor. So many things from the film have made their way into our everyday lives and language.

It's full of iconic lines, songs, characters, and moments. The Wizard of Oz is a timeless classic that has appeal for every open-hearted person out there. It doesn't matter if you're a kid or a grown-up. Navel-gazing dramas about the human condition are fine, and I know most critics' lists would give preference to those sorts of films, but this movie has a little bit of everything and is easily among the most perfect films ever made. Young Stephen Sondheim and veteran tunesmith Jule Styne were then forced to pair up by the dictates of star Ethel Merman and went on to write one the most memorable scores in Broadway history. We think the likely answer to this clue is ARLEN. The most difficult thing about reviewing The Wizard of Oz is finding something to say about it that doesn't begin with 'the best.' It's hard to argue that this isn't a strong contender for the greatest movie of all time. The crossword clue The Wizard of Oz tunesmith with 5 letters was last seen on the January 01, 2010. Network airings in the 1990s were uncut and not time-compressed the film aired in a 2-hour, 10-minute time period. CBS, which had shown the uncut version of the film in 1956, and again from the films first telecast until 1968, finally started to show it uncut again beginning in 1985, by time-compressing it. By the 1980s, the other excised shots included: the film's dedication in the opening credits, continuity shots of Dorothy and Toto running from the farm, establishing shots of the cyclone, the aforementioned tracking sequence in Munchkin Land, the establishing shot of the poppy field, and tiny bits and pieces of the trip to the Wicked Witch's castle. There’s a definite Los Angeles vibe to this record, McMurtry says.

Also according to Fricke, more wholesale cutting of the film took place when CBS regained the TV rights in 1975. This first collection in seven years, due August 20 on New West Records, spotlights a seasoned tunesmith in peak form as he turns toward reflection (Vaquero) and revelation ( closer Blackberry Winter). According to film historian John Fricke, these cuts started with solely a long tracking shot of Munchkin Land after Dorothy arrives there. As the amount of commercial time on network television gradually increased, more scenes were cut. From 1968 to 1984, on NBC-TV and CBS-TV airings of the film, the film was edited to sell more commercial time.
