EPISODE 84 - “THE MAKING OF MAGIC: BEHIND THE SCENES ON THE WIZARD OF OZ - PART 1” - 4/21/2025 Perhaps one of the most beloved movies of all time, the MGM classic The Wizard of Oz debuted in that magical year of 1939. Based on the popular children's books by Frank L. Baum, it tells the story of a Kansas farm girl, Dorothy Gale, who, along with her devoted dog Toto, is transported to the magical land of Oz. This beloved classic has become such a touchstone in pop culture that phrases like “There's no place like home,” “Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore,” and “I'll get you, my pretty” have entered our collective lexicon. This week, we offer the first of a two part episode that explores the making of this MGM classic film.

Transkript zu: Mut, Herz und kein Verstand 0:03 Heldendumm, Historisch, Gefühlsecht. Hallo Philipp. Hallo Daniel. Ich habe beim letzten Mal ja schon so ein bisschen angeteast, dass deine Geschichte und meine Geschichte sich wie immer komischerweise ein wenig überschneiden, was so der Beginn der Geschichte angeht und die die Richtung, in die wir gehen. 0:27 Heute wird sich das Ganze ein bisschen, aber ich habe jetzt gerade eben so ein bisschen drüber nachgedacht und ich glaube, dass werden wir erst so in der Mitte der Geschichte merken. Deswegen fangen wir einfach mal an, ja, die, und zwar wir fangen mit dir am 15. 0:43 Oktober an, im Jahr 1900. O. 1900 aber es ist gar nicht so weit entfernt von meinem Geburtstag. Ich identifiziere mich, aber 1900 ist immer wichtig, wo geboren. In San Francisco. AOK du bist in San Francisco geboren und dein Name ist Mervyn Leroy. 1:01 Und was ist der Nachname Leroy? OK, mervin, Leroy, OK. Mervyn Leroy sagt dir nichts. Der Name. Nein, sagt mir nichts. Das ist gut. Ja, wie gesagt, du wirst am 15. Oktober geboren, in San Francisco und du lebst als Kind in einer kleinen Familie, du hast halt nur deine Eltern, jetzt keine, keine Großeltern, die irgendwie in der Nähe sind, auch keine Geschwister sind, deine Eltern haben irgendwie so ein Einzelhandels Ding, so einen Laden oder sowas und deine Mutter liebt Theater. 1:32 OK, aber im Sinne von sie geht dahin und sie macht nicht das Zuhause. Dazu kommen wir noch. OK. Aber sie liebt Theater als Zuschauerin, und zwar sie geht ins Theater, sie guckt sich gerne. Stücke an. Guckt sich gerne n geiles Stück an. Kleines Stück. 1:49 Es ist 1904 und dann deine deine Mutter. Wie gesagt, das Theater, die guckt sich irgendwelche Theaterstücke an und sie nimmt dich auch irgendwann mal mit, dass du als Kind schon mit 4 Jahren quasi richtig. Das Ganze schon kennen lernst und vielleicht sogar auch lieben lernst. 2:07 Ja gut, man gibt ja Leidenschaften weiter an die Kinder. Ne soweit so. Genau gut. Vorausgesetzt natürlich, man beschäftigt sich mit dem Kind auch bisschen länger als nur 5 Jahre, denn deine Eltern trennen sich und deine Mutter brennt durch mit einem Reise Berater nach Auckland. 2:22 Mit einem Reise Berater. Mit einem. Windigen Typen. Er hat ihr erzählt, Oakland ist super wahrscheinlich, und dann sind sie einfach. Abgabe Auckland ist jetzt keine Abkürzung von O Island, oder? Das wäre natürlich schön stattgefunden. Naja, du wirst auf jeden Fall bei dem Vater bleiben und es vergeht wieder ein Jahr. 2:41 Du lebst mit deinem Vater, er arbeitet und du bist halt ein kleines Kind am 18. April 1906 05:12 Uhr in den Morgenstunden du schläfst noch und du wirst geweckt. Du wirst nicht von deinem Vater geweckt, du wirst nicht von irgendwelchen Leuten draußen geweckt, du wirst auch nicht von Einbrecher geweckt, du wirst von einem 7,9 auf der Richterskala Erdbeben in San Francisco geweckt. 3:07 Ich wusste es, ich wusste es. Ich wusste nämlich, dass es anfangen. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts irgendwann dieses riesige Erdbeben in San Francisco gab, und ich habe mich die ganze Zeit gefragt, ob das irgendwie eine Rolle spielt, oder ob ich dann weg bin. Es spielt eine Rolle, denn du wirst quasi aus dem Bett geschleudert. 3:25 Dein ganzes Haus wird aus dem Bett geschleudert, so gesehen. Was wird ins Bett geschleudert? Vielleicht. Auch das 80% der Stadt werden zerstört. 25000 Gebäude gehen in Flammen auf, weil Gasleitungen freigelegt werden. 3:42 Und dementsprechend einfach die ganze Stadt brennt. 3000 Leute sterben dabei. Das vergleichsweise wenig. Was vergleichbar ist, vergleichsweise wenig ist, wobei es aber bis heute das tödlichste Erdbeben in der Geschichte. Es ist. OK, na, jedenfalls 3000 Menschen sterben, dein Vater und du, ihr überlebt unversehrt. 3:59 Glück gehabt, was es gibt noch andere Personen im Haushalt. Wahrscheinlich von denen wurde jetzt nichts überliefert. AOK jedenfalls, ihr verliert euer Zuhause und dein Vater verliert auch seinen Job, weil da gibts nix mehr. 4:15 Verstehe schade, dass er jetzt nicht hausbauer war. Das ist natürlich sehr schade, ja, aber was er ist, er ist jetzt ein Obdachloser mit dir und ihr zusammen sucht nach einem Haus und ihr findet kein Haus. Ihr findet aber eine Bleibe in einem Militär Zelt welches aufgestellt wird halt von eben als naja als Nothilfe Notunterkunft und ihr lebt dort 6 Monate bis dahin Vater wieder einen Job gefunden hat und ihr euch wieder n Eigenheim irgendwo im neu aufgebauten San Francisco leisten könnt. 4:46 OK, verstehe ja soweit so traumatisch bisher. Soweit sehr traumatisch, aber dieser dieses Trauma soll dich eigentlich nur stärker machen, denn es vergehen wieder Jahre und mit mit mit 12 im Jahr 1912 fängst du an Zeitungen zu verkaufen, du wirst so n typischer Extrablatt Extrablatt. 5:05 Ja, alles klar, weiß ich sofort Bescheid. Hast bestimmt auch so ne so ne so ne. So ne Mütze. Ja ja und so ein kariertes, so ne Karte, kleine Weste und fliege um. Genau, und du rennst durch die ganze Stadt und verkaufst deine Zeitung. Und Kniestrümpfen brauche ich noch. Ganz wichtig, ganz so stellt noch. 5:22 Naja, jedenfalls lässt die Stadt und verkaufst. Überall. Deine Zeitung an die Fisch Märkten, du verkaufst die irgendwo bei der Polizei, bei der Polizei, du verkaufst überall wo Menschen sind, dort läufst du hin und verkaufst deine Zeitungen. Zitat Ich sah die Cops, die Huren und die Reporter und die Bartender und die chinesische Fischer und Verkäufer, ich kannte sie alle, wusste was sie mögen, wusste was Sie denken, was sie lieben und was Sie hassen. 5:48 Ich wusste, wie sich echte Menschen benehmen. Das ist, das ist n das der okay alles klar, ich verstehe, das heißt ja ich wusste wie sich echte Menschen benehmen. Das bedeutet, er macht irgendetwas, wo echte Menschen geschauspielert werden oder irgendwie. 6:06 Ja, ja, da ist, fügen sich die Puzzleteile zusammen, es fehlen noch welche. Ja, die Puzzle Teile kommen sehr schnell zusammen, denn schon 2 Jahre später verkaufst du Zeitungen neben einem Theater in San Francisco und dort kommen ja immer wieder Schauspieler raus und die sehen dich und die sehen immer den Zeitungen, der mit 14 seine Zeitungen verkauft und die sagen, Hey, du könntest doch bei uns mitmachen und sie bieten dir verschiedene Rollen an. 6:32 A und einem 14 jährigen schon Mensch. Einer deiner ersten Rollen wird ein Stück, wo du Tom Sawyer spielst. Das ist aber direkt schon was Großes. Also. Direkt, was groß ist. Und es geht dann noch größer, denn du schaust was so in der Welt passiert. 6:48 Sein neuer Job als Schauspieler, da wirst du dich ja natürlich mit den größten Messen und natürlich wirst du auch größer werden und es gibt einen sehr aufstrebenden Schauspieler, der gerade auch im Stummfilm plötzlich sehr so innerhalb von wenigen Monaten voll nach oben geschossen ist. 7:04 Und das ist Charlie Chaplin. AOK ich war im überhasteten. Vielleicht. Aber natürlich Charlie Chaplin. Ja klar. Es ist Charlie Chaplin und du findest ihn total cool und du sagst, was er kann. Kann ich auch, und zwar des Wortes, denn du wirst ein Charlie Chaplin imitator. 7:21 HHOK ein Charlie Chaplin, aber ich werde nicht mit Hitler verwechselt irgendwann, oder? Also ich hoffe nicht. Ich hoffe auch nicht zu Hitler kommen wir noch. A Natürlich bin ich Jerry Lewis. Du bist sehr gut in dem Imitieren von Chaplin, das so, dass es in San Francisco einen Wettbewerb gibt, einen Wettbewerb mit 1000 Teilnehmern, alle verkleidet als Chaplin, alle imitieren. 7:43 Berlin und du gewinnst diesen Wettbewerb, weil du der beste Chaplin imitator bist und du bekommst in einem Theater quasi eine Rolle als als den Hauptpreis und du darfst dort mitspielen. Alles klar verstehe. Mit 15 Jahren und du verkaufst natürlich nebenbei auch noch die Zeitungen. 8:00 Das hört sich finanziell für den 15 jährigen gut an. Das ist tatsächlich so. Jedenfalls das vergeht wieder ein Jahr 1916 stirbt dein Vater und du denkst dir so, OK, was mache ich denn jetzt, mein Vater ist gestorben, mir gehts finanziell eigentlich ganz OK, ich kann mich selber über Wasser halten. 8:17 Das mit den Zeitungen brauche ich auch gar nicht mehr. Ich werde jetzt fulltime Schauspieler. OK. Und was du machst, du tust dich mit einem Pianisten zusammen, der heißt Kleid Cooper und zusammen macht ihr so ne Art Stand up Comedy mit Piano. 8:34 Und das ist ja nichts Außergewöhnliches, so wahrscheinlich. Das gibt es häufig und ihr merkt so Scheiße, das gibt es wirklich überall und ihr versucht quasi damit durchzustarten. Aber ihr könnt nicht so richtig Fuß fassen, fassen von Anfang an. 8:51 Aber ihr denkt euch da wo die Stars hingehen. Wir machen so t Shows oder so After Shows und so weiter wie zum Beispiel Shows von Harry Houdini. So warm, warm, upper für Harry Houdini, so ungefähr ist ja auch stimmt. Jemand bisschen Piano bei Houdini. Je. 9:07 Dann, so nach 3 Jahren, kennt man euch. Weißt du, was gerade von meinem, von meinem Auge läuft? Gerade Greatest Showman aus irgendwelchen Gründen, weil es ähnlich irgendwie auch zeitlich ähnlich spielt, glaube ich. Auch das weiß ich gar nicht, ehrlich gesagt jedenfalls nach 3 Jahren kennt man euch als das Duo Cooper und Leroy. 9:25 Und ihr seid so ein Standard Show. Die bucht man mittlerweile mit dazu, quasi zu irgendwelchen größeren Shows und vielleicht seid ihr irgendwann mal sogar schon so ne bekannte Show wo man gerne hingeht. Problem aber in Coopers Familie stirbt jemand, das heißt er hört auf, er zieht zurück nach irgendwo und lässt dich zurück und du denkst dir so hey ich hab mit Houdini Sachen gemacht oder bei Houdini mit Houdini Sachen gemacht, ich bin quasi der beste Chaplin nach Chaplin ich geh nach Hollywood. 9:53 OK, das ist natürlich ein Sprung. Versucht da irgendwie als Schauspieler Fuß zu fassen. Klappt auch nicht direkt, aber du versuchst es auch noch nebenbei so als Techniker, weil du kennst das ja von deinem. Von den Auftritten es funktioniert. Du wirst Techniker und Schauspieler, machst das so bisschen nebenher, mal das, mal das und in den nächsten 10 oder 11 Jahren machst du wirklich Karriere in Hollywood, dass du erstmal deinen großen ersten Job als Gag Schreiber bekommst. 10:18 Als G. Schreiber ja OK. Schreiber war damals der Shit. Das war also, wenn du irgendwas in Hollywood sein wolltest, dann war es g. Schreiber. Ja, aber was aber waren die gabs damals auch? Gut kann ich dir nicht sagen, das war also scheinbar warst du zumindest gut genug, dass man dich. 10:38 Schreibe auch noch innerhalb dieser Jahre zum Regisseur ernannt hat. Oh, jetzt wird es aber langsam interessant, was, wo bin ich jetzt in meinen Zwanzigern irgendwo? Du wirst gerade 25, es ist 1925 und du lernst einen gewissen Jack Warner kennen. 10:54 OK, alles klar. Das ist natürlich, das ist ein Jackpot, kennenlernen, Termin was. Einer Brothers und er sieht in dir etwas und er sagt Hey junge mervin, ich werde dein Mentor. 11:10 Ui, jetzt also ich finde du machst Karriere. Aber jetzt muss ich, ich muss eine Frage stellen, du musst, du musst sie auch nicht jetzt abschließend beantworten, aber warum kenne ich mich nicht? Das hab ich mich selber auch gefragt. Habe ich einen Künstlernamen oder sowas? 11:26 Ich unter einem anderen Namen bekannt, man kennt mich. Jetzt einfach. Es ist vor unserer Zeit. OK. Deswegen hab ich gefragt, weil ich mir nicht sicher war, ob du dich vielleicht kennst. Aber ich werde im Nachhinein IMDV links verlinken. Kann man sich deine Karriere nochmal in ihren Filmen und Theater Stücken anschauen? 11:46 OK, ich bin sehr gespannt. Du bist mit Jack Warner unterwegs und Warner Brothers gibt es da schon und in den nächsten 12 Jahren wirst du von deinem Regisseur Job steigst du weiter auf bei Warner Brothers tatsächlich steigst auf und auf und auf und du wirst irgendwann mal ein Produzent. 12:05 Ja, wieso der Gang der Dinge ist. Aber das ist auch sehr gut. Also ich bin, ich bin mittlerweile ja gleich da, offenbar zu den wichtigsten Hollywood. So ist es. Du bist, du bist super wichtig so wichtig also bist mittlerweile schon. Also wir haben jetzt sehr schnelle Sprünge gemacht, du bist mittlerweile 37. 12:21 Und du kriegst ne Nachrichten, Telefon, anruf. Ich kann es dir nicht sagen von MGM. Metro Goldwyn Mayer, die mit dem Löwen. Die mit dem Löwen ND möchte, dass du bei denen als Produzent arbeitest und du sagst natürlich sofort zu und du produzierst da irgendwie. 12:41 Ich glaube 45 Filme bei denen und ich kann dir noch nicht. Also ich hab mir natürlich angeguckt welche Filme es waren, aber die haben mir alle vom Titel nichts gesagt. Wie gesagt die Liste steht unten in der Show Notes, du wirst quasi ins Büro von Louis. Die Maya gerufen, das ist der Chef und. 12:59 Der Chef kommt, bist du, gehst du Chef? Du willst ins Büro gerufen, du machst die Tür auf, geht rein, machst die Tür hinter dir zusätzlich quasi an seinen Schreibtisch und er sagt zu dir, Marvin, Du hast geile Arbeit geleistet in den letzten. 34 produktionen. 13:16 Hier ist ein Freifahrtschein. Was möchtest du machen? Ich möchte die Zauberer von Oz machen. Ich möchte den Zauber davon ausmachen und Meyer sagt OK. Dann mach es. Der Film hat Oscar gekriegt glaub ich sogar ne. Dazu kommen wir noch. Ja, also wir machen den Zauberer von aus, es möchte den Zauberer von Oz von 1939 ganz wichtig, weil es gibt mehrere Verfilmungen, kann natürlich jeder jetzt hier einen Cut machen und sich diesen Film anschauen, damit er weiß worüber wir sprechen, kann uns auch im Nachhinein anschauen, das ist was du filmen möchtest. 13:49 Das ist die Geschichte, die du wahrscheinlich als Kind gelesen hast, die Du als Kind im Theater gesehen hast. Du möchtest diese Geschichte verfilmen, ja, du bekommst die interne Produktions Nummer 1060. Bei MGM, also MC 60, ist sauber davon aus. Wenn du irgendwas machst. 14:05 Du bekommst die Buch Rechte, dass du das auch verfilmen kannst und du sagst, OK, wir müssen richtig geiles Drehbuch schreiben. Wie schreibt man richtig geiles Drehbuch. Na gut, jetzt weiß ich, kenne ich mit Zauberei Film. Also ich kenn mich ja mit dem Stoff jetzt nicht aus, ich kenne also das Einzige was ich jetzt kennen würde aus der Richtung wäre jetzt die Zauberer vom Waverly Place, aber ich glaube das ist nicht gewünscht hier das Wissen darüber. 14:29 Wie gehts aber grundsätzlich, wie schafft man es, ein gutes Drehbuch zu schreiben? David Cage. Verhaften? Ich glaube, wissen Friedhelm 1938. Also ich würde sagen, ja, was soll heißen, wie schreibt man ein gutes Drehbuch, schreibt ein gutes Buch, schreibt also. 14:45 Erstmal stellt man jemanden ein Drehbuch. Schreibt AOK macht es nicht selber, ich s also nicht selber. Nein, du brauchst. Du brauchst ein Drehbuchautor, du stellst gleich 10 110, du hast den Freifahrtschein. 10 Drehbuchautoren OK ist für den ein paar viele Köche nicht den Brei also möglich. 15:01 Es gibt schon Stoff, das ist ja nicht mal ne original Story. So ist es werden sehr viele Drehbücher geschrieben. Am Ende kristallisieren sich 3 Stück. Raus also 3 Autoren, die fügen ihre ihre Ideen zusammen und mogeln irgendwas um und daraus entsteht ein Drehbuch, das heißt, das Drehbuch steht nach paar Wochen seit 2 Monate, du bekommst einen Assistant Producer, dazu eine Arthur Freed, er sagt Jungs, was sagst du denn zu den Drehbuchautoren, ich möchte aber Musical machen, ganz wichtig ich hab voll Bock auf Musicals und Musical machen. 15:34 Aber das willst finde ich das denn auch. Du stehst und sagst du ja, kann ich mir gut vorstellen. OK, also ihr macht Musical also wieder ab, was macht das passt. Und er sagt noch ganz wichtig, ja, die Schauspieler sollen selbst singen und jeder Text. Inhalte sollen irgendwie Story voranbringen, es soll irgendwie weißt du, es ist nicht nur o die sind jetzt hat, sondern. 15:53 Ja, es wird verwoben mit der Handlung. So ist es und man holt sich ein Regisseur dazu. Du bist ja der Produzent und Regisseur ist Richard Torb kein unbekannter Mann zu dieser Zeit, er macht aber sehr viele Filme für Erwachsene. Was heißt für Erwachsene jetzt genau das, was ich mir vorstelle? 16:11 Oder so. Jetzt also für Erwachsene, für erwachsenes Publikum, sag mal so. Also seriöse. Seriöse Filme. Vielleicht Action, vielleicht etwas, etwas anderes halt. Und da gibt es schon vielleicht so das Erste, wo man sich überlegt, so macht das Sinn, einen einen keine Ahnung Action Regisseur für einen Fantasy Zauberei Film einzustellen, ich weiß nicht wofür du dich entschieden hast, der Produzent. 16:36 Ja gut, aber Produzenten entscheiden manchmal skurrile Dinge. Plötzlich hat David Fincher Alien 3 gedreht, es passieren Zeichen und Wunder in dieser Welt. Na jedenfalls kommt zum Casting. Man castet das Mädchen, Dorothy ist 13 im Film. 16:52 Man kriegt aber die 16 jährige Judy Garland, weil man hat niemanden bekommt. Man hat es also sie war jetzt keine schlechte Schauspielerin, was andere jüngere Mädchen, die auch gut singen können vorgestellt, das hat dann irgendwie nicht geklappt. OK, aber der Name Judy Garland ist nicht ganz unbekannt oder der, den kennt man. 17:09 Den kennt man, den kennt man. Ich werde jetzt ein paar reinwerfen von den Schauspielern, die noch dabei sind, die getötet wurden, es ist nicht ganz unwichtig, man muss sich vielleicht alle Namen merken, wie das oft bei meinen Geschichten ist, aber sie gehört zu haben ist nicht, es gibt eine geile Sondergaard, das ist nämlich die böse Hexe, die böse Hexe des Westens, das ist ganz wichtig. 17:28 Der Hund der Toto wird gecastet durch eine Hündin Terry. Da war es dann egal, ob da jetzt rüber oder Hündin dabei ist. Hauptsache Hund klar, dann gibt es einen Burg Lahr, der Löwe ohne Mut gecastet wird, dann wird Ray Bolger als der Blech oder Zinn Mann ohne Herz casted Buddy Ebsen als Vogelscheuche. 17:53 Die keinen Verstand hat. Das ist ein professioneller Tänzer, und das ist ganz wichtig, weil die Vogelscheuche läuft ja so, die ist ja weich, die hat ja keine, kein Fleisch verstehe, und da muss sich bewegen und deswegen hat man professionelle Tänzer gecastet und man castet 124 Kleinwüchsige aus USA. 18:09 O was? Denn es gibt es in einigen Szenen. Dazu kommen wir gleich noch, gibt es ja eine Stadt von den sogenannten Munch Kins und die Munch Kins sind alle so kleine Zwerge. Also das würde man heute aber auch nicht mehr machen, oder? Ja, es ich mich tatsächlich interessieren, was heutzutage? 18:28 Machen. Ich Google mal Schneewittchen und die 7 Zwerge und es wird dir beantwortet werden. Jedenfalls ist das Casting. Es gibt natürlich noch weitere Spieler, aber das sind so die wichtigsten Leute der Blech Mann. Er kommt zu dir und sagt so. Weißt du was? 18:45 Ich würde gerne die Rollen tauschen mit Buddy, mit der Vogelscheuche. Aber das also du bist in Blech Mann und der bewegt sich ungelenkig und dann ist da die Vogelscheuche und die musste halt sich sehr gelenkig bewegen, das passt irgendwie nicht, oder? Das passt nicht, aber du sagst also er guckt mich an und sagt zu dir, so du aber damals 1902 ne, ich war in dieser Theater Vorführung als Kind und als ich hab die Vogelscheuche gesehen, ich wollte schon immer das, deswegen bin ich überhaupt Schauspieler geworden, ich will unbedingt die Vogelscheuche sein. 19:16 Also nur wenn es also wenn wenn wenn die beiden das hinkriegen und beide. Gutaussehender drin, von mir aus, aber ich weiß nicht, ob sie nicht so gepasst. Wahrscheinlich. Exakt so ist es abgelaufen, dieses Gespräch. Du hast gesagt, Geh zum G zur Vogelscheuche, klär das mit ihm. 19:34 Ja gut, was willst du sonst machen? Also wird die Rolle getauscht und der Vogelscheuche Mann, der jetzt der neue Blech Mann ist, sagt zu zu dem Ex brechmann neue Vogelscheuche Pass auf ich bring dir das alles bei, sie lernen sozusagen den S sloppy Walk die neue Vogelscheuche ist jetzt die funktionierende Vogelscheuche und der neue Blech Mann nimmt schon mal seine ganzen Songs auf. 19:58 Es ist ganz wichtig, dass die für das Musical Songs aufnehmen, ne damit das schon mal da ist. Somit ist das Casting jetzt fest. Wir haben eine Vogelscheuche. Wir haben einen Löwen, wir haben einen Blech Mann. Wenn man dort zu. Wir haben Dorothee, Wir haben die Hexe und wir haben die 124 Kleinwüchsige. 20:17 Und wir haben den Hund. Und wir haben den Hund. Wir haben nur gesagt, dann werden die ersten Tests gemacht, macht das ja normalerweise in der Filmproduktion, man stellt sich ja erst mal so in, sagen wir, unfertigen Kostümen hin und testet n bisschen, ob das überhaupt funktioniert. Richard Thorpe, der Regisseur, schnappt sich Judy Garland und zieht ihr ne blonde Perücke an und macht ihr ganz viel Make up drauf und ja, sie sieht irgendwie mehr aus wie eine Prostituierte. 20:46 Denn als sie ein Mädchen aus Kansas. Vielleicht ist das Ziel. Und du guckst dir das so an, überlegst so, ja, ich weiß nicht. Also im Buch stammt das anders, aber vielleicht, ich lass ihn einfach. Machen ja, verstehe, aber ich lasse den den Mitarbeitern dieser Produktion auf jeden Fall sehr viel freie Hand. 21:04 Ja, du hast den Freifahrtschein und Du arbeitest ja mit ihnen die Arbeit nicht für dich, sondern du arbeitest jetzt alle zusammen. Der Blech Mann, der wird in seinen Anzug gesteckt und es ist so ne ja so n halt Anzug aus teilweise tatsächlich aus Blech und er wird mit seiner Aluminium. 21:21 Die Farbe eingesprüht, sein Gesicht, seine Hände, damit er halt komplett Silber ist. Und das Bild ist ja relativ bekannt. Genau, der Löwe bekommt ein Kostüm, aber irgendwie Kostüm. Bauer haben sich auch Fahrscheine, also bauen wir jetzt 145 Kilo schweres Kostüm aus Loewenfeld aus echten Löwen Fell. 21:39 Oh Gott, oh Gott, oh Gott. Der Schauspieler Bird, der versucht, sich darin zu bewegen, merkt aber boah, ist das irgendwie schwer und es ist so warm und er bekommt so eine Latex Maske, dann bekommst du wirklich so ein Katzen Gesicht. Auch das noch. Und er fängt an zu schwitzen. Und er hat. 21:55 Wie kommt denn? Das Problem ist die arbeiten, die Dreharbeiten und der ganze Scheiß. Die gehen immer um 04:00 Uhr morgens los bis 20:00 Uhr. Also 16 stunden in 45 kilo echt echt löwen kostüm, latex im Gesicht. 22:12 Sagen wir 12 Stunden, weil die brauchen 2 Stunden, um das irgendwie das make up und das Kostüm anzuziehen. OK, sein Problem ist aber, er hat Magenbeschwerden, bedeutet Ausziehen von dem Kostüm wird schwierig mitten in den Dreharbeiten, ja und er hat sag mal flatulenzen wenn er zu viel gegessen hat oder generell gegessen hat. 22:31 Löwen windel. Löwe und das also Löwen, Winde oder Löwen windel. Ich hab Windel gesagt. Also ich. Hab alle Gewinde, passt in dem Zusammenhang natürlich auch sehr. Gut, seine Löwe finde sammeln sich auch in seinem Kostüm und die können nicht entweichen. Was sagen wir mal mit Kombination mit den ganzen Scheinwerfer am Set, der generellen Temperatur in LA. 22:55 Explosionsgefahr. Explosionsgefahr am Set der Löwe wird aufgebläht und er kriegt einfach. Er kriegt einfach nichts mehr zu essen. Er darf nur noch nach den Dreharbeiten essen, weil davor sorgt für Explosionsgefahr. 23:12 Löwe. Er hat auf jeden Fall Probleme. Die Vogelscheuche, die neue Vogelscheuche bekommt auch eine Maske aus Latex und bekommt so n ja so n Hemd und ganz viel Stroh. Halt die Vogelscheuche aussieht, aber Latex Maske ist in seinem Gesicht auch nicht. 23:29 Seine Polen gehen zu, es ist alles irgendwie sehr unangenehm, aber man tut was man kann. Also du hast quasi die 3 Schauspieler gestalten, die da stehen alle in vollem Make Up, voller Rüstung und ja, man sieht den anderen Switch schwierig. 23:47 Ja, verstehe das kann ich mir gut vorstellen. Man hat sich, man hat sich sehr viel vorgenommen, glaube ich. Man hat sich sehr viel vorgenommen. Ein Problem ist aber quasi aus einer anderen Richtung gerade die Hexe Gay heißt mit Vornamen die Hexe, merkt also liest, liest ihren Text, liest ihre also, ließ das Drehbuch und merkt doch, irgendwie kann ich mich nicht mit meiner, mit meinem Charakter identifizieren. 24:07 Ich möchte tauschen mit Dorothy. Ich möchte, das wäre schön, wenn sie meint, dass das Ganze ist so bisschen irgendwie geschrieben, wieso eine böse Stiefmutter das Ganze, das Ganze ist so geschrieben für mich, als ob ich so eine böse Stiefmutter wäre, die später zu typischen alten Grantigen Hexe wird und das möchte ich nicht, das gefällt mir gar nicht, ich möchte, ich möchte ein anderes Skript. 24:31 Ja, aber du hast diese Rolle angenommen. Hat sie das Skript nicht gelesen, bevor Sie die Rolle angenommen hat? Ich weiß es nicht. Sie hat auf jeden Fall vielleicht zu Ende gelesen, 3 Tage vor Dreh Beginn schmeißt sie diese Rolle, schmeißt sie das Skript. Und verschwindet. Das ist schlecht, das ist schlecht. 3 Tage vor Dreh. 24:49 Beginn ist ein schlechter Zeitpunkt dafür. Dass das stimmt. Du stehst jetzt quasi vor vor eigentlich 4 Leuten in Kostümen, einem fehlenden, einer fehlenden Schauspielerin. Parallel wird die Hündin Terry trainiert. Ich dachte jetzt kurz, du sagst trächtig. 25:05 Nee, das ist zum Glück nicht. Aber die, also die Hündin wird trainiert und die Trainer machen richtig guten Job. Also die Hündin macht wirklich alles, was man ihr sagt, also die reagiert auf jede kleinste Bewegung, die läuft immer mit, alles super. Und diese Trainer wollen natürlich auch Geld. Und sie werden auch gut bezahlt, weil Freifahrtschein. 25:22 Bestimmt ja. Das bekommen aber die Kleinwüchsigen mit und die Kleinwüchsigen findet es gar nicht geil, weil sie nur halb so viel verdienen wie die Trainer von der. Natürlich, der es bietet sich jetzt wahnsinnig viel an, was man jetzt sagen könnte. 25:40 Absolut. Nichts davon tun wir. Jedenfalls sind die Kleinwüchsigen nicht unbedingt zufrieden mit mit der halben. Leistung, die Sie bekommen. Sie den Portionen, die sie quasi ausgezahlt kriegen. So ist es und sie kommt zu dir und beschweren sich. 25:57 Gut, das verstehe ich aber. Aber werden sie überhaupt anfangen zu reden? Und du stehst am Set und wie gesagt, du siehst hier gestalten, da 124 Zwerge, die auf dich zulaufen, die Hündin, die Rumhüpft und plötzlich bricht der Brechmann zusammen. Der Brechmann oder Blech brechmann, er war der Brechmann, weil er zusammengebrochen. 26:17 Ist der der, der der Brechmann bricht, zusammen brechen bricht zusammen, denn er kann nicht atmen, er hat. Atembeschwerden? Ja, wahrscheinlich, weil dieses Aluminium Spray eingeatmet hat und das irgendwie wahrscheinlich Lungenkrebs macht oder sowas. Ein Notarzt gerufen Buddy kommt sofort, also Buddy. 26:32 Der Schauspieler Buddy kommt sofort ins Krankenhaus. Also ich würde sagen, der Typ der mit ihm die Rolle getauscht hat, der ist aber einer Kugel aber mal haarscharf ausgewichen. Er hat wirklich so Neo in Matrix gemacht. Ja so knapp war dran. Wobei, dazu kommen wir noch welche, welche Bullets doch nicht gelöscht wurden. 26:49 OK. Also du hast jetzt 2 Schauspieler weniger. Ja, sieht schlecht aus, aber. Du stolpert über Margaret Hamilton. Margaret Hamilton ist eine Schauspielerin, die gerne die Hexe spielen würde. Das ist gut, immerhin habe ich dann wieder jemanden macht, also kann ich das denn auch. 27:08 Du siehst hier Schauspieler und sieht wirklich gut und sie spricht sofort mit den Kostüm Designer innen und Designern und verschwindet quasi da im Umkleide Raum, kommt wieder und hat so ein sexy schwarzes Kleid an. Warum kommen die Leute alle immer auf so verrückte Ideen bei dieser Produktion? 27:24 Also die also, die quasi, also wir, das bewegt sich in Richtung Porno Parodie, jetzt kommen hier die. Die Edelnutte Dorothy und die Domina sexy Hexy kommen da zusammen. Also die kommen nicht zusammen, aber die sind da beide am Set und es hat den Blech. 27:44 Mann hat schon Socken gehauen, bleibt also das ist langsam gefährlich da. Pass auf, du stehst da und du guckst dir jetzt deine, deine ganzen, deine den kompletten Cast an. Wie du schon sagst, ne die Edelnutte Dorothy Sexy, Hexy Margaret und wie gesagt die kleine Mädchen sieht aus wie eine 19 jährige Prostituierte mittlerweile. 28:07 Der Regisseur hat schon die ersten Szenen abgedreht, mit Dorothee Mhm und du denkst dir so, Hey Leute, wisst ihr was, so geht das nicht, ich wollte hier Kinderfilm drehen und ich habe jetzt 2 Mädels, die sonst wie angezogen sind und du sprichst mit dem Regisseur. 28:27 Vor allem gerade im konservativen Amerika der 30er Jahre ne. Ja, ja, das kommt dazu und du sprichst mit Richard Ford und sagst ihm, so etwas sollten Kinderfilm sein und ich es ist nicht ganz, zumindest hab ich nicht gefunden. Es sieht ganz überliefert, ob du ihn gekündigt hast oder ob er gegangen ist, weil er gemerkt hat, so diese Produktion ist vielleicht nicht einer der Filme für Erwachsene, wie im Vorfeld besprochen. 28:52 Ja, verstehe. Wie ich sie sonst drehen würde. Also Fehlbesetzung. Regisseur. Genau, also dir fehlt jetzt mittlerweile nur noch ein Schauspieler der Blech Mann ist der Brechmann und der Regisseur Stand erwachsenen Filmchen, also neuer Regisseur muss dran, du guckst dich um, du guckst dich um und du denkst dir, OK, was ist das nächst Beste, was irgendwie so in die Richtung geht was ich drehen möchte und du. 29:15 Du hast mal Romeo und Julia gesehen, 1936 ein George Cukor Hats verfilmt und du sagst Scheiße, auf den ich jetzt, das ist das nächste, was ich kriegen konnte und er kommt dahin. Er stellt sich an Z sieht Dorothee sieht die Hex, fasst sich an den Kopf, sagt Dorothee ACN Scheiß aus, Hör auf so Fancy, Schmelze hier zu schauspielern. 29:37 Zieh den Scheiß aus, also es wird noch schlimmer. Ergeht, ergeht zur Hexe, sagt, so Ey, Hallo, Du bist ne Hexe, du bist keine Prostituierte, zieh dir mal so ein Hexen Kluft und n Hut an und. Ja, aber es gibt auch Prostituierte, Hexen bestimmt, oder? 29:52 Die geht bestimmt also. Mit dem Wesen zu den Kunden. Mit was anderem? Aha jedenfalls wird nochmal aufgeräumt, ja, und Dorothy kriegt ihr kindliches Aussehen wieder, sieht tatsächlich jünger. 30:08 Das Problem ist, dass sechzehnjährige Mädchen ist 16 und dementsprechend hat sich weibliche Züge. Das dreizehnjährige Mädchen ist 16. Das 13 nee, das 16 jährige doch. Also das die Schauspielerin ist 16, soll aber 13 aussehen, ist aber leider 16 und dieser sieht aus wie 16 aus so. Sie hat Brüste, und diese Brüste müssen weg, denn dreizehnjährige Mädchen haben im konservativen Amerika 1930er Jahre keine Brüste. 30:33 OK, verstehe. Also abbinden, Korsetts tragen. Ja, also wie gesagt, du ziehst jetzt Korsett an, du bist deine Brüste ab, du isst ab heute nur noch Hühnerbrühe und rauchst Zigaretten und trinkst du noch Kaffee und du bekommst auch noch Amphetamine, damit du n bisschen abnimmst. 30:53 OK, interessant, auf was für Ideen man damals kam. Schwierig, aber so. Hätte man nicht einfach jemanden casten können? Ja, ich sag mal theoretisch. Also der Cast war im Umschwung. Ja, eben. Also ich hätte jetzt auch nichts geändert, wenn jetzt noch gewesen wäre, die Szenen, die gedreht werden, wahrscheinlich, weil ja, das ist richtig falsches Outfit. 31:15 Die sind auch alle weg. Die Szenen beziehungsweise sie wahrscheinlich wissen, aber sind bis heute nicht aufgetaucht. Jedenfalls wird das jetzt mit Judy gemacht, es ist jetzt einfach fertig, so ist beschlossene Sache, das muss jetzt alles geändert werden, also Juli wird umgehend um designt und nicht nur optisch sondern auch. 31:32 Psychisch und die Hexe übrigens bekommt nicht nur den Hut, sondern auch Make up. Nun grünes Gift. Grünes Make up im Gesicht, an den Händen und so ne dicke haarige Warze wie eine Hexe. Aussehen wie. Das Make up ist aber kupferhaltige, weil man das damals in grüner Farbe benutzt hat. 31:48 Ist jetzt nicht unbedingt das gesundes. Nee, das ist überhaupt nicht gesund, ist schlecht Mann oder oder sowas ähnliches hat schon Beckmann einiges gekostet. Was ist eigentlich mit dem. Los kommt ein Anruf aus dem Krankenhaus. Buddy ist im kritischen Zustand, das Aluminium ist nicht nur in seinem Gesicht. 32:06 Sondern auch in seiner Lunge. Ich. Habe gesagt. Seine Lungenflügel sind komplett verdeckt. Er muss jetzt die nächsten Wochen und Monate im Sauerstoff Zelt verbringen. O das ist ein Problem, das ist sehr schlecht. Auf die Idee, Leuten Aluminium Spray ins Gesicht zu sprayen. Ich dachte, das wäre irgendwas was safe ist, aber gut ist 1939. 32:25 Es ja schwierig. Schwierig, schwierig, schwierig. Aber du hast ja neue Regisseur und er kennt ja seine, sagen wir Kollegen, und er kennt noch andere Schauspieler und du bekommst einen neuen Blech Mann. Sehr gut. Wer ist diesmal brechmann? Jack Haley heißt er, ist auch Schauspielerin, damals sehr erfolgreicher Schauspieler, wird der Ersatz Bleckmann, und er kommt ans Set und guckt so bisschen, weil er denkt, so, also er hat natürlich mitbekommen, dass er einen anderen Mann ersetzen wird, und er dachte, der andere wurde gefeuert, weil das ist wohl so üblich war damals, man feuert die Leute und ersetzt sie ihm wurde aber gesagt, ja irgendwie gab es ein Statement von oben, vom Studio. 33:02 Der Blech Mann zuvor hatte irgendwie allergische Reaktion oder sowas. Der ist jetzt erstmal ausgefallen. Du du machst jetzt den Film für ihn. Sie haben ihn nicht wieder die Aluminium Scheiße ins Gesicht gemacht, oder? Sie haben eine andere Aluminium Scheiße ins Gesicht gemacht, die aber glücklicherweise nicht so schädlich war und die haben ihn da vorher ne Maske noch drunter gelegt und irgendwas. 33:22 Ich war jedenfalls die haben sich schon Gedanken gemacht und haben das Ganze ein bisschen angepasst. Glück gehabt. Wir sind angekommen im Oktober 38 und du hast einen vollständigen Cast. 3839. Wir sind noch. 38, ich hab einen vollständigen, ja Mensch, irgendwas muss ja funktionieren. 33:43 Damit du dir ein Bild davon machen kannst. In unserem Chat findest du die wichtigsten Charaktere, damit du sehen kannst, wen du da jetzt vor dir hast. A ja, ich sehe aber den Löwen hätte ich nicht, als wenn, da bin ich ehrlich. Ja, es ist, aber es ist echtes Loewenfeld. 33:58 Aber man hat, man hat diese 4 natürlich schon mal irgendwie auch gesehen. Genau also die ich. Ich glaube auch die Verfilmung hat zumindest in Teilen jeder auch schon mal irgendwo aufgeschnappt. Ja, irgendwas davon hat man immer mal gesehen. Das ist wohl richtig. Und das ist die Hexe. 34:14 OK, ja doch, kennt man auch, aber was hat der denn da auf dem Kopf, der Blech Mann, das sieht ja aus wieso ne wieso ne das ist einfach nur umgeschichtet Trichter oder? Ja, ja, genau. Und er hat ne kleine Fliege. Ist auch interessant. Na jedenfalls, du kannst mir Dreharbeiten beginnen in dem Moment, wo du sagst, es kann losgehen, klingelt das Telefon. 34:33 Was ist mit ihrem Freifahrtschein? Was machen Sie da eigentlich? Das klingelt, das Telefon und es ist jemand von einem anderen MGM Studio dran. Und zwar sind gerade die Leute der Produzent. Von Vom Winde verweht kennt man. 34:50 Er sagt so, Boah Ey, unsere Produktion läuft gerade richtig scheiße. Ich brauche neue Regisseur, weil mein Alter abgehauen ist. Oje. Oje, kannst du mir deinen ausleihen? Oh Gott, nein, kann ich nicht. Ich hab keine Zeit was? 35:06 Aber du hast den Freifahrtschein, du kannst den Neuen holen. Verstehe also wieder ohne Regisseur da, kurz nachdem der eine mir zumindest ein bisschen hier die Situation repariert hat. Kurzintervention für die Aufnahme hier passieren Dinge, die kann man sich nicht erklären. 35:22 Ich hab mir das gerade selbst nochmal anhören müssen, es ist unfassbar. Daniel ist zum Delphin geworden. Ich spiel das gerne noch mal noch mal hier, als das quasi outage Spielern nochmal hier. Achtung. Ja, also das ist wirklich nicht normal. 35:46 Und ich wiederum komme offenbar vom Mars oder sowas. Das kann man sich hier anhören. Essen. Das ist hochgefährlich, was hier passiert. Ich glaube, wir werden hier irgendwie Helden, Aliens oder sowas. 36:04 So, da sind wir wieder. Falls die Qualität jetzt n bisschen anders ist. Wir hatten ein kleines technisches Brimborium, hast du S genannt. Ja, man kann es auch hören. Ich hab abgespielt ins Mikrofon rein, ich weiß nicht ob es funktioniert hat, aber wir waren also Daniel war in Delphin und ich war irgendwo es. 36:21 In einer Voyager Voyager 1. Voyager 1 war ich. Ja, jedenfalls muss ich erstmal rausfinden. Wir waren, wo wir jetzt gerade waren. Wir waren dabei, das schon wieder gewechselt werden. Genau, du stehst jetzt wieder ohne Regisseur da, aber du hast ja den Freifahrtschein und du bekommst den Ersatz, Ersatz, Regisseur und es ist Victor Fleming. 36:44 Victor Fleming ist auch auch da ein erfolgreicher Regisseur, damals hat MGM Filme raus geschossen wie sonst was, sie wollten eigentlich jede Woche einen Film raushauen oder durch meine jeden jede Woche oder jeden Tag, ich weiß nicht, ich hab schon geguckt, die wollten auf jeden Fall gut gut rausschießen doch jede Woche wollten sie und alle 9 Tage haben Sie einen Film. 37:06 Ausgeschlossen zu der Zeit also es ist ein gutes gutes stuckaturen Film. Ja, ist nicht schlecht. Das ist allerdings sehr stark. Und deswegen haben die auch genug. Ja genug Personal das hin und her getauscht werden kann. Aber gut, wir sind jetzt endlich bei den Dreharbeiten angekommen, du hast Regisseur, Du hast n Cast, es kann losgehen, Drehbuch steht im Drehbuch wird auch nichts geändert und es geht nämlich los. 37:33 Im Drehbuch stehen nämlich die Szenen. In Kansas, wo Dorothy damit konfrontiert wird, dass ihr Hund weggenommen wird und sie singt in einer Szene den Song Over the Rainbow, der für diesen Film geschrieben wurde. Der sehr bekannt ist, glaube ich hier. 37:50 Sehr bekannt ist sie, singt das Ding und danach wird ihr der Hund weggenommen. Dann versucht sie den Hund wiederzubekommen und dann lernt sie diesen Zauber Künstler kennen und dann passiert dieses große Tornado Ding. Das Problem ist bei dem Tornado um ein Tornado in einem Filmset darzustellen, das kostet Geld. 38:10 Gut, das Geld hast du. Ja, aber es ist auch, glaube ich, nicht so einfach, oder? Es ist nicht so einfach und vor allem ist etwas, was man zum Schluss macht. Deswegen wird gesagt, OK, diese Szenen, die lassen wir erstmal und das machen wir alles zum Schluss machen wir Schluss, machen wir so einen Raum mäßig, ja räumen wir einmal auf und vor allem möchte man dieses Szenen alle in schwarz weiß Filmen, solange man in Kansas und der echten Welt ist sozusagen, und das ist einer der ersten farbfilme Tauber von aus, das heißt, man möchte aus in Farbe darstellen. 38:44 Fantasy Land ist quasi schön bunt und das echte, echte Leben ist schwarz weiß beziehungsweise später Sepia gefilmt und das ist natürlich auch ein anderer Film und der Schwarz weiß Film ist natürlich günstiger. Klar. Deswegen macht man das alles später erst mal alles so und das ist Szenen aus. 39:02 Fangen wir damit an, dass Dorothy in ihrem Haus nach Ost fliegt und sie landet inklusive Haus auf einer Hexe. Auf der Hexe. Auf der Hexe, auf der bösen Hexe des Ostens. Das ist nämlich eine böse Hexe. 39:18 Sie über das Land der Munch Kins herrscht und die Menschen sind die Kleinwüchsigen und sie freuen sich darüber, dass die Hexe tot ist, denn sie sind befreit und Theory kommt aus diesem Haus und sie feiern sie, dass sie die Hexe getötet hat und die Hexe die böse Hexe des Ostens. 39:34 Sie hat eine Schwester und zwar die böse Hexe des Westens, das ist nämlich die, die die grüne Hexe genau und sie kommt angeflogen auf ihrem Besen in so einer Musik Einlage und die ganzen Menschens gehen so Entdeckungen weil sie ja die böse und sie sagt so OK. 39:52 Mit meiner Schwester passiert, da wird gesagt, ja, die Dorothy hat sie umgebracht. Natürlich. Denkt sich so, Oh Gott, was hab ich getan, ich hab gar nichts getan, ich wollte sie nicht umbringen und die böse Hexe des Ostens, sie hatte so Rote halb Schuhe, diese Bekannten halb Schuhe, die später Dory trägt, weil sie quasi ihre Zauber Kräfte bekommt in diesen Schuhen, sie werden quasi übertragen auf Dorothy und die Böse, die Grüne Hexe, die Hexe des Westens möchte diese Schuhe haben, kriegt sie aber nicht und sagt zu laufen bloß nicht weg, sonst werde ich dir die Hölle. 40:27 Was macht Motto? OK, ist das schon eine Abwandlung? Originalstoff? Ich glaube ja, das OK es ist, wie ich meine Schuhe, silberne im Buch und so paar Kleinigkeiten mehr. Die Farben jetzt in diesen Farben zeigen Long Story Short. Es kommt eine Szene wo die Hexe sagt Ich werde die Hölle heiß machen und sie haut ab und möchte das natürlich schön darstellen und was macht man? 40:50 Eine Rauch und Feuershow. Oh je. Es gibt eine extra Bühne, die gebaut worden ist. Ein Hohlraum unten drunter. Und es gibt einen Aufzug, einen Aufzug, es gibt quasi eine Bodenplatte, auf die sich die Hexe stellen muss. 41:07 Dann fährt dieser Bodenplatte schnell runter, die ist natürlich Unterbauch versteckt, das heißt, man kann es nicht sehen und in dem Moment, wenn die, wenn die Herunterfährt, kommt ein Feuerball und sie verschwindet in diesem Feuerball. Das haben die echt gemacht, oder? Alles praktische Effekte und es wird ein Tag gedreht und sie sagen, es sieht gut aus, also alle sind eigentlich zufrieden und dann gibts Mittagspause, sie gehen alle Essen und trinken. 41:27 Haben Sie daran gedacht, die Hexe wieder mitzunehmen? Ja, die Hexe, die ist quasi unterm Set irgendwo wieder rausgegangen. Alles tiptop. Alles alles super. Der Regisseur guckt sich aber irgendwie in der Zwischenzeit die Szene an und sagt so, nee, das gefällt mir nicht, das machen wir nochmal. Mittagspause, das weiß ich nicht, sei 16:00 Uhr oder sowas relativ spät, sie müssen noch irgendwie 234 Stunden machen und sie sind halt schon seit 12 Stunden zugange, alle müde und dann müssen sie diese komplette komplette Szene kompletten Take nehmen, das ist ein langer Tag, also das ist viel tanzen, viel Dialog und sie machen es nochmal und es wird alles passiert, alles genau gleich. 42:05 Das Problem ist aber beim zweiten Mal. Fährt der Aufzug zu spät, zu langsam runter, der Feuerball kommt zu früh und der Feuerball ist größer als beim letzten Mal. Lem Hexe merkt, dass ein bisschen warm ist. 42:21 Werden sie nach unten fährt ja und wundert sich und wundert sich und dreht sich nach rechts und merkt, dass ihr Besen brennt und das. Ihr Hut brennt und dass ihr Gesicht brennt und ihre Hände brennen das schlecht. Sie wird also sie ist quasi ein laufender Feuerball und wird sofort zur Seite genommen. 42:45 Und man merkt, dass sie, also man löscht sie mit Decken und man merkt aber, oh scheiße, sie hat ja durch dieses giftige Kupferhaltige make up du überall. Nein. Und sie hat offene Verbrennungen im Gesicht und an den Händen. 43:01 Also a sorry Margret, aber wir nehmen jetzt Alkohol und desinfizieren dich und machen dieses Zeug von dir runter. Und nein, oh Gott. Die Hexe später gibt es ein Zitat im Film. Also es gibt einen, einen, einen Dialog im Film, wenn die Hexe stirbt, Ding Dong. 43:19 The Witch is Dead, das hätte ich mir sehr gut gepasst. Man kennt es aber, weil wir haben alle die nackte Kanone gesehen. So ist es, so ist es jedenfalls die Hexe. Sie hat Verbrennungen zweiten und dritten Grades und wird ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert und mit ja, sie fällt für 3 Monate aus. 43:39 Das ist Scheiße, das ist große Scheiße, weil das ist ja eine der Hauptrollen, nicht wahr? So ist es. Aber es gibt noch genug andere Szenen, die nicht vorkommt. Also machen wir doch erstmal das ja, weil wir müssen jetzt vorankommen, so. Richtig, es wäre ganz gut. Thority möchte ja nach Hause kommen und es wird Dorothy gesagt, du musst den Zauberer von ausfinden er so mächtig, er bringt dich bestimmt nach Hause. 44:00 Es gibt so einen gelben Steinweg, Folge dem und du landest in der Smaragd Stadt und in dieser Smaragd Stadt dort lebt er Zauberer und er wird dir bestimmt wünschen und auf dem Weg findet Dorothy die Vogelscheuche die keinen Verstand hat und hätte gerne verstand deswegen kommt sie mit um sich das Zauberer wünschen und irgendwann mal auf dem Weg steht der verrostete Blech Mann der kein Herz hat und er möchte ein Herz und r auch er kommt mit soweit so gut und spektakulär. 44:27 Werden abgedreht, da wird getanzt, da wird gesungen, Szenen abgedreht, passt sogar der neue, also die Vogelscheuche, kann das sogar ziemlich gut was, was ihnen beigebracht wurde, mit dem mit dem Tanzen der Blech Mann, der alte Blech Mann jetzt nicht mehr naja nochmal überprüfen ob das jetzt sehr gut geworden ist, aber man kann es ja im Film sehen, er hat es ja geschafft, jedenfalls in der Zwischenzeit. 3 Monate sind rum während dieser ganzen Szenen gedreht wurden, die Hexe ist wieder da, es gibt noch Szenen die mit Feuer zu tun haben werden und man hat sich so gedacht, so wir sollten vielleicht ihren Upgrade geben, ein feuerfestes Upgrade. 45:02 Ja, macht Sinn. Welches Material brennt nicht? Oh Gott. Und sollte unter keinen Umständen jemals irgendwo verwendet. Werden Asbest Asbest, das Outfit der Hexe wird mit Asbest versehen. Ihr lesen wird mit Asbest versehen und die Vogelscheuche ist ja auch brennbar. 45:21 Vielleicht sollten wir sie auch ein Asbest. O Nein, das heißt, es haben alle auch noch Krebs gekriegt später. Es ist ja nur die Vogelscheuche und die Hexe. Man hat ja schließlich aus dem Unfall gelernt und man möchte ja nicht mehr, dass überhaupt jemand brennen kann, ja. 45:36 Na ja, aber die Reise geht weiter. Dorothy folgt den Weg weiter, ihre 2 Begleiter kommen mit und sie finden den Löwen ohne Mut und dieser Löwe, er springt aus dem Gebüsch raus und tut auf super stark, super schlimm und bedroht Dorothy und bedroht ihren Hund und Dorothy Dorothy fasst den Mut zusammen, geht zu dem Löwen und gibt ihm eine Schelle. 46:00 Das ist im Skript das Problem war aber die kleine Judy. Also das ist ein sechzehnjähriges Mädchen und sie findet das Kostüm von dem Löwen unglaublich witzig. Sie findet das Kostüm so lustig, dass sie jedes Mal kichert, wenn der Löwe aus dem Busch kommt. 46:16 Ich schaue mir jetzt gerade nochmal, ich kann's verstehen. Es sieht nicht sehr furchteinflößend aus, es sieht auch nicht aus wie ein Löwe. Absolut nicht. Das Problem ist aber, sie kriegt sich nicht ein und sie machen einen Take und sie lacht. Sie machen zweiten Take und sie lacht, sie machen dritten Take und sie lacht und du siehst schon beim Regisseur Victor Fleming. 46:34 Du siehst im Gesicht, so, EY rastet gleich aus. Vor allem das ist ja dieses Technicolor Band beziehungsweise der Film Technicolor Film, der kostet unheimlich viel Geld zu dem Zeitpunkt, das ist so viel Geld was sie dafür brauchen und Regisseur sagt zu der Judy Komma komm mal kurz rum, er holt sie zu sich und sag ihr, du sollst jetzt arbeiten und ich lachen und sie kriegt sich nicht ein und ergibt ihr eine Schelle o. 46:59 Natürlich sind ja immer noch die 30er. Es immer noch die 30er und nach der Pfeife gibt es einen Tag, der perfekt gedreht ist. Danach, weil Julia hat nichts zu lachen. Also du hast eine verbrannte Hexe, du hast 3 kostümierte Dudes, du hast ein kleines Mädchen, welches E schon eigentlich psychisch und körperlich missbraucht wird, man muss sagen wie es ist. 47:22 Definitiv. Die auch noch am Set verprügelt wird. Aber wie sagt man so schön, The Show must go on. Also schließt sich der Truppe an und sie gehen weiter nach Ost und sie gehen weiter und so weiter und so weiter und sie können die Smaragd Stadt sehen und dieser gelbe Weg, der führt quasi direkt in die Stadt und zwischen ihnen und der Stadt. 47:42 Ist ein Mohnblumenfeld, also ganz viele rote Blüten, schöne Wiese und sie sagen, OK, wir müssen noch über dieses Feld und dann sind wir da. OK, in dieser Szene gibt es einen Zauber, den die Hexe quasi spricht aus dem Off, weil da sie wahrscheinlich neu kommt, die Verbrennung nicht komplett gewesen, also hat man nur so halb gezeigt, sie spricht ein Fluch, und zwar ein müdigkeits Fluch, wo die Helden Truppe einschläft, werden sie über dieses Feld laufen, genau, es gibt aber noch die gute Hexe. 48:17 Des Nordens, die sie vorher schon kennengelernt haben. Sie spricht ein gegen Zauber und dieser gegen Zauber, fragt mich nicht warum ist folgender in dem Moment wo die Protagonisten alle Einschlafen fängt es an zu schneien und sie werden von den Schnee wieder wach. Nachdem sie aber so echt mit dem Schnee zugeschüttet werden OK aber wie macht man denn Schnee in den Dreißigern? 48:36 Man hat dann noch so Säcke von Material liegen was man eh schon viel zu viel gekauft hat, weil man da nur irgendwie paar Kostüme mit naja geupgradet hatte zuvor. Auch wieder Asbest. So ein weißes Pulver. Ach du scheiße, ich hätte Styropor genommen oder sowas. 48:52 Wir doch nicht Asbest. Das komplette Set ist zugedeckt mit Asbest. Sie liegen drin, sie wühlen sich drin, sie atmen es ein, aber die Smaragd Stadt, sie ist sehr nah und es gibt noch genug Szenen, die wir drehen müssen. 49:09 Oh Gott. Sie kommen, das Macht an, Sie kommen daran, da machen die Charaktere noch Gags und dann wird die Tür aufgemacht und dann wird gesagt, Ach, ihr seid die die Truppe, ihr sollt zum großen Zauberer, also bringen wir euch da so lachen und so weiter. 49:26 Und Sie haben eine Kutsche. Wird sich in Fantasy Film gehört. Selbstverständlich haben Sie Kutsche. Und dieses Deutsche wird von einem Pferd gezogen. Dieses Pferd ist Pink. Natürlich ist geologisch. Dann ist es gelb, dann ist es lila, dann ist es wechselt ständig die wie ein Kameleon. Damals gab es aber noch keine VFX Effekte, womit man das hätte gut umsetzen können. 49:46 Das heißt, Sie haben das Pferd angestrichen? Sie haben das Pferd mit Wackelpudding, ein Gesuhlt mit verschiedenen farbigen Wackelpudding. Da wär ich jetzt nicht drauf gekommen. Kann nicht einfach streichen. Offensichtlich hatte das Pferd mehr Rechte. Als ein sechsjähriges Mädchen. 50:02 Zeigt ja. Außerdem wurde das Pferd nicht ins Bett getaucht. Ich weiß nicht, vielleicht doch damit. Glaube ich glaube, alle wurden in Asbest getaucht an diesem Set, das Transfert quasi zieht die Kutsche bis zum Zauberer, da gibt es ein kleines Gespräch mit Zauberer, Zauberer sagt so, ja ich kann euch wünsche erfüllen, aber nur wenn ihr mir die Hexe beziehungsweise Hexe bringt von der bösen Hexe des Westens und dann geht es im Endeffekt nur noch einen Showdown gegen die Hexe beziehungsweise die Hexe, die schickt eine Armee. 50:34 Und geflügelten Affen auf die Protagonisten los. Ist doch klar, was auch sonst? Es ist Fantasy. Wir haben das mit den geflügelten Affen gemacht. Darf ich mal indiskret Fragen, darf ich. Mir ja, man hat teilweise Spielzeuge genommen, die Halt irgendwie oben mit Seilen befestigt waren an der Decke des Studios und man hat ja noch 124 Kleinwüchsige da. 50:55 Nicht ernst. Die Kleinwüchsigen wurden alle in Kostüm und nicht, aber ich glaube es waren über 20:30 Uhr Stück, die man in Affen Kostüme gesteckt hat. Ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja. Ja, man hat Ihnen Flügel dran gemacht. Sie wurden an Angelschnüren festgemacht und durch Set gehangen. 51:13 Alter, das ist ja unglaublich. Was ist das denn? Ja, jedenfalls gibt es diesen, diesen Showdown, und die Hexe schickt die Affen los und am Ende bekommt ich glaube, die Hexe bekommt einen Spritzer Wasser und das Wasser ist nicht gut für die Hexe und die Hexe stirbt. 51:32 Ding Dong the Witch is dead OK, sie nehmen den Besen, sie gehen zum Zauberer, sie zeigen den den Besen und da gibt es einen Twist und ich hab mir gedacht, ich will nicht den ganzen Film, sondern wir noch gucken will. Dann kriegt er den mit, wenn ihr den schauen möchte und dann wird. 51:51 Im Endeffekt? Oder soll Dorothy mit einem Großen. Heißluftballon na nach Kansas geschickt werden. H. Ja, ja, was passiert ihr? Kommt sie in den offiziellen Luftraum, oder? 52:08 So ähnlich. Wenigstens. Es ist lustig, weil wir haben ja in der Episode über den Stuhl Ballon Mann, haben wir darüber gesprochen, dass es wichtig ist, dass das Fluggerät mit Schnüren zu befestigen und diese Schnüre auch gleichzeitig loszubinden, damit das Ding nicht um oder richtig, der Ballon ist losgeflogen, aber ohne Dorothy. 52:29 Ohh, das ist schlecht. Ist schlecht jedenfalls. Dorothy kommt nicht nach Kansas, aber sie hat ja magische Schuhe dabei und diese magische Schuhe, Sie erfüllen jeden Wunsch und auch so gibt es ein Happy End und sie muss mit ihrem quasi aneinander mit den Hacken aneinander schlagen, dreimal und dann darf sie sich wünschen und ihr Wunsch wird erfüllt und sie kommt nach Hause und dann ist der Film eigentlich zu Ende, aber man hat ja noch ein paar Szenen, die man nicht gedreht hat. 52:59 Stimmt, man muss ja noch den Tornado machen zum Beispiel. Man muss den Tornado noch machen. Wir haben mittlerweile Februar 39. Also. Wir sind schon dabei. Und wir sind schon fast Jahr dabei und es heißt OK, der Regisseur, der soll jetzt nur noch die Tasten drehen, aber es kommt ein Anruf bei dir an. 53:20 Der Produzent von Vom Winde verweht. Hein Nein, so, du kannst den Regisseur zurückhaben. Dein alter Regisseur ist bei mir abgehauen. Kann ich deinen aktuellen Regisseur haben? Du hast doch einen Freifahrtschein. Ja, und dann würde ich aber sagen, ja, kannst du haben, wenn ich dafür den alten Regisseur wieder kriege. 53:38 Der ist weg. Und dann brauche ich ja wieder nen. Du, du kriegst auch nen. Also Victor Fleming wird Zum Winde verweht, verweht und du kriegst du kriegst King Vidor heißt er also King König und es heißt, er soll jetzt nur noch schnell eben die kennen Szene abdrehen. 53:54 Dann sag gegessen. Also Dorothy wird auf ihrer Farm gesetzt, sie singt over the Rainbow, Tip Top, Sie steht quasi auf der Farm und singt und bewegt sich n bisschen die und quasi einen Tag, nachdem die Szene abgedreht ist, kriegst du einen Anruf vom Chef von MGM. 54:12 Der will wissen, wann der Film endlich fertig ist. Nee, er will wissen, warum deine Hauptrolle vor einer Scheune singt. Sowas macht man doch nicht. Ein Star vor einer Scheune stellen und sie singen lassen, das ist doch nicht MGM würdig. Aber das ist der Plot. 54:28 Es ist egal, das macht man nicht. Also diese Szene soll gelöscht werden und aus dem Skript gestrichen. Werden ja, aber was soll denn am Ende sonst machen, wenn ich nach Hause komme? Es soll jetzt bist du dran und du darfst das Skript umschreiben und das ist deine nächste Aufgabe, das Skript so umzuschreiben, dass sie nicht singt, sondern dass sie einfach nur irgendwie rumsteht. 54:47 Ich Musik weg. Du machst Musik weg, du schreibst das um und das Set wird nochmal aufgebaut und die Tornado Szene wird gedreht und die kostet richtig richtig fett Geld. Also man wird ich hab mir mal auch ein Interview angehört von einer Person die sich sehr viel damit beschäftigt hatte. 55:04 Irgendwie 70er Doku darüber die Produktion. Ich glaube, die Mutter der Frau, die Doku gemacht hat, für die Kostüme gemacht. OK also also quasi auch ne Schwerverbrecherin. Absolut. Jedenfalls wird dort erzählt, dass es super teuer, super aufwendig, weil man hat da irgendwelche Autos unter das Set gesetzt und wenn sie losgefahren sind, haben sie Sachen gedreht, quasi so drehenden Plattformen, die über irgendwelche Zahnräder Sachen geschwungen haben. 55:31 Also ist eine Konstruktion wie von da Vinci wahrscheinlich, hat sich richtig Mühe gemacht und es war auch richtig teuer. Na ja, und dann ist der Film eigentlich fertig und er wird geschnitten und er wird geschnitten und man merkt so, oh Scheiße das so passen von der Hexe, die müssten nach gedreht werden, speziell wo sie feuerbälle wirft und irgendwas mit heißem Dampf macht. 55:53 Wir machen wir nicht, machen wir nicht. Wir ist abgelehnt. Das Problem ist, dass es die Szene, die du hast, die gehen einfach gar nicht. Also dann kannst du den Film auf schmeißen. OK, also los. Du rufst Margret an und sagst du Hallo, könntest du bitte und sie sagt, so Leck mich am Arsch, ich will damit nichts mehr zu tun haben. 56:13 Kann ich sehr gut verstehen. Ich muss sagen, wenn ich auf Margret Seite. Also sucht ihr ein Stunt Double. Ihr malt eine Frau Grün an, zieht sie in die Hexen, Kluft, sie dreht ihre Szene ab und wird dabei schwer verletzt. Selbstverständlich wird sie, das wundert mich gar nicht, natürlich, wie viele Personen werden jetzt hier, also die können nicht so ein Disclaimer am Ende machen, so no animals and people. 56:36 Jury auf keinen Fall Apropos Animal, Ich habe dazu keine Quelle gefunden, aber in einem Gespräch wird auch gesagt, dass die kleine Hündin auf sie wurde mehrmals aufgetreten im See. Dass sie, dass ich glaube, ihr Bein gebrochen war für mehrere Wochen. Die Kleine musste sich erholen, bevor sie wieder mitspielen konnte, also. 56:54 Wie kann denn sowas passieren? Der Hund war sehr klein. Das ist nur ein kleiner Terrier gewesen. Du vermisst aber auch irgendwie den Assistenten. Ist auch weg. Nee, der ist beim Chef OS, beim Chef und er bettelt förmlich. Das over the Rainbow wieder in dem Film war reinkommt. O Nein, hab ich das gelöscht oder hab ich das wenigstens noch? 57:12 Du hast es noch nicht gelöscht. O Gott Chef wird überredet, over the Rainbow wieder geschnitten und dann seid ihr fertig. Der Film. Ist fertig. Mein August 1939 der Film wird veröffentlicht, ich glaube am 12. 57:27 August oder? So nach anderthalb Jahren. Dann war es dann doch endlich irgendwann geschafft. Der Film kommt raus und er spielt 3000000 US Dollar ein. Das war damals wahrscheinlich viel. Das war richtig viel und macht somit 1,1 Millionen. Verlust. 57:44 He. Ihr habt über 4000000, ich hab sogar eine Zahl von irgendwas von $5000000 verballert für Tornado, für Technicolor Film, für die Kostüme, für die kranken Rechnungen, für die ist Hunde Training, für die Kleinwüchsigen, die dann am Ende mehr Geld wollten. 58:04 Problem ist auch noch nicht, nur wurde als zu teuer, sondern das Publikum sind Kinder und da gehen ja keine Erwachsenen rein und dann eine Erwachsene und 5 Kinder sowas. Ja, klar. Problem ist, Tickets kosten zu der Zeit 0,15€ für Kinder. Und mehrere Dollar für Erwachsene. 58:20 Fischer, das heißt ja. Du brauchst mehrere Kinder, um eine wachsende wieder wettzumachen. Und Erwachsene gehen da nicht rein. Die Kritiker sagen, dieser Film war. Vielleicht können wir ja den Begriff gab es damals schon, ja, vielleicht können wir nochmal das mit den nochmal das mit der Edelnutte versuchen, vielleicht können wir dann noch mal eine andere Zielgruppe schneiden wir einfach sein. 58:41 Es wird gesagt, ein Film komplett ohne Fantasie. Es wird gesagt, alle Kinder, die groß genug sind einen Ticket Schalter zu erreichen, kaufen sich ein Ticket für Tarzan. Gut, aber Tatsache war auch sehr beliebt damals, oder? Und das stimmt, das wurde ja dann ungefähr zur selben Zeit raus. 58:56 Also eigentlich Kacke, also gut, wie wolltest du sonst veröffentlichen? Aber heute würde man das nicht machen. Glaube ich den Film, oder? H 2 so Blockbuster gleichzeitig. Ja, weiß ich nicht, weiß ich nicht. Es ist halt bisschen kacke, weil ihr habt kein Geld eingespielt, ihr habt euch eure Schauspieler vergrault mit den ganzen Dingen, die passiert sind am Set übrigens, die Mädels haben sich die Midgets, die wie hießen die Menschen, die manches haben, sich übrigens noch beschwert, weil sie, weil über sie erst. 59:29 Gelästert wurde, dass die Perverse wären, was, dass sie die Frauen am Set begrabscht hätten. Die Menschen sagen aber auch gleichzeitig, nee, wir wurden hier gemobbt, wir wurden gemobbt, weil wir klein sind, über uns wird gelacht, über uns wird, also wir wurden richtig fertig gemacht am Set, also auch das war gar nicht so geil irgendwie für die. 59:49 Also da gab es schon so ne Debatte irgendwie in den Dreißigern quasi. So, so ungefähr. Aber dann brechen die 40er an und es gibt eine Oscar Verleihung und es gibt, ich glaube 7 Nominierungen oder zumindest mehrere Nominierungen für Zauberer. 1:00:05 Und ihr bekommt einen Oscar für den Soundtrack, also für generell für die Musik, die Filmmusik. Dann gibt es einen Oscar für over the Rainbow, also damals schon ein Hit. Ich glaube, erinnerst du dich an zweiter, Ich glaube 2011, dieser Hawaiianer mit der Ukulele. 1:00:23 Ja, ja klar, Israel Kita oder wie der hieß oder Kamikaze ovo. Also er hat auf jeden Fall noch mal ja nochmal lebendig gemacht. Noch schnell gestorben übrigens. Genau da war irgendwas genau, jedenfalls genau. 1:00:41 Es gibt einen Oscar für den Soundtrack, es gibt einen Oscar für Over the Rainbow und damals gab es noch eine Oscar Kategorie für Jugend Schauspieler und Judy Garland bekommt einen für Roller Story. AOK also 3 Oscars bisher ist ja schon mal nicht schlecht. Zweieinhalb dieser Jugend, Oscar wird nicht als Offizieller anerkannt. 1:01:00 Kind, Frau, kannst du. Vierzigern in USA schwierig beides. Na und? Dann kommen wir zu dir. Was nimmst du aus diesem Film mit? In Oscar. Vielleicht habe ich Glück. Nein, nein. Du nimmst keinen Oscar. Mit 1,1 Millionen Euro Schulden. Ja. 1:01:15 Und ich dreh wahrscheinlich nie wieder irgendwas, wo Feuer drin vorkommt oder Leute sich anmalen müssen. Du machst nie wieder einen Job als Produzent. Du gehst zu deinem Chef und sagst bitte, bitte, lass mich wieder Regisseur, ich möchte nie wieder einen Film produzieren, du machst ja nichts, du sitzt nur am Schreibtisch und hörst die Beschwerden an und zeigt die Rechnungen. 1:01:40 Ja, das stimmt, da hätte er vorher wissen können, ja vorher 3. Filme oder Filme produziert, aber nicht nicht so ein magnum opus, wie wie man das Ding dann genannt hat. Ja genau, es war auf jeden Fall einen Schuss in den Ofen für dich als Produzent. 1:01:55 E. Ein Schuss in den Backofen. In dem Bechhofen, so ist es. Und Na ja, dieser Film hatte aber auch langfristig für Probleme gesorgt. Juli Garland, die gespielt hat, sagt irgendwann mal zu ihrer Mutter, sie sei die böse Hexe des Westens, weil sie sie so in Jobs Reingedrückt hat, und Judy kommt auch nie runter von den Amphetaminen,

"A-Gust" continues with our epic coverage of the 1939 MGM classic "The Wizard of Oz."
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!"REBROADCASTStill a ClassicVictor Fleming didn't just direct two movies in 1939, he directed two of what many consider to be the greatest films made – Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. Where the former, though, has more problems to contend with in today's society, what with its depiction of slavery and race in the South during the Civil War, the latter is nothing but pure cinematic joy. Seen by more people than any other movie, The Wizard of Oz has become infused in who we are. Quotes from the movie can pop up in everyday conversation without people even realizing they're quoting it. The songs – particularly “Over the Rainbow” – have been burned into our brains at an early age. It truly is a shining example of what cinema can be. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our ‘films of 1939' series with one of the great cinema achievements, Flemings' The Wizard of Oz. Here's a Look Into Our ConversationWe talk about what makes this film so great and why it's lasted so long, looking at everything from the story to the music to Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. We discuss Fleming as the main director putting the film together, the 14 writers tasked with bringing this script to life, and L. Frank Baum, the author of the original Oz stories. We chat about the actors – Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Margaret Hamilton, Jerry Maren, the Singer Midgets and more (not to mention Terry the dog as Toto) – and look at what they all bring to the table here. We chat about Buddy Gillespie's special effects, Adrian's costumes, Harold Rosson's cinematography, Herbert Stothart's music adaptation, Harold Arlen's & Yip Harberg's songs and Mervyn LeRoy's & Arthur Freed's producing, tying together all the elements they each were responsible for. And we comment on the popularity of the film, chat about it being a gay icon, and look at how it started at a loss but ended up making bank over the decades. It's one of the greats and certainly one we have a lot of passion about discussing.

We had a lot to say about these two movies we picked for this week, which is why this episode is almost two hours long. we really dive in on these movies, plus we go off on a few tangents along the way. Drew's pick for this episode is the 2006 romance/comedy Wristcutters: A Love Story about the place people go after committing suicide. Kevin's choice is the classic, iconic, influential film, The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, Jack Haley and RAY BOLGER! This was a fun episode to record, and we hope you enjoy is as well.

The least organized story of the allagash four abduction, that will probably ever be done. Camping in Maine gone wrong, spicy dreams of friends, and a god awful amount of accents, Chen leads the tale with help of Jack (Haley) and Jim (Fae) to bring the story of these abductees to life.

The biggest names in Hollywood and Broadway recorded for AFRS during the war years, The American Forces Network can trace its origins back to May 26, 1942, when the War Department established the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). The U.S. Army began broadcasting from London during World War II, using equipment and studio facilities borrowed from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The first transmission to U.S. troops began at 5:45 p.m. on July 4, 1943, and included less than five hours of recorded shows, a BBC news and sports broadcast. That day, Corporal Syl Binkin became the first U.S. Military broadcasters heard over the air. The signal was sent from London via telephone lines to five regional transmitters to reach U.S. troops in the United Kingdom as they prepared for the inevitable invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. Fearing competition for civilian audiences the BBC initially tried to impose restrictions on AFN broadcasts within Britain (transmissions were only allowed from American Bases outside London and were limited to 50 watts of transmission power) and a minimum quota of British produced programming had to be carried. Nevertheless AFN programmes were widely enjoyed by the British civilian listeners who could receive them and once AFN operations transferred to continental Europe (shortly after D-Day) AFN were able to broadcast with little restriction with programmes available to civilian audiences across most of Europe (including Britain) after dark. As D-Day approached, the network joined with the BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to develop programs especially for the Allied Expeditionary Forces. Mobile stations, complete with personnel, broadcasting equipment, and a record library were deployed to broadcast music and news to troops in the field. The mobile stations reported on front line activities and fed the news reports back to studio locations in London. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entertainment Radio Stations Live 24/7 Sherlock Holmes/CBS Radio Mystery Theater https://live365.com/station/Sherlock-Holmes-Classic-Radio--a91441 https://live365.com/station/CBS-Radio-Mystery-Theater-a57491 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" We are starting The Wizard of Oz Month with the classic 1939 film starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Billie Burke, Frank Morgan, and Margaret Hamilton. Drew and Cassie start by revisiting their personal connections to this nostalgic musical film before talking through the plot that has been majorly streamlined from L. Frank Baum's original novel. We talk through many of the smart and fun changes the movie makes, like expanding the Kansas scene and swapping out the silver shoes for ruby slippers. We talk about the movie's dedication and opening shot, the origins of the farmhands, the transition from Kansas to Oz, Glinda's questionable motives, Buddy Ebsen's lingering presence, the snow that saves them from the poppies, and more! Plus, you will not want to miss Cassie's unique connection to this movie! Next time, join us as we discuss the 1975 Broadway musical The Wiz: The Super Soul Musical "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by Charlie Smalls and William F.

In a world, where the midnight train podcast is at the top of the podcast game, one thing has the power to destroy everything they have worked for. This week their world will come crumbling down as everything they've achieved will be tested and possibly destroyed due to the madness that is (dun dun duuuuuuuunnnnn) cursed Movies!!! Tonight on the midnight train we are combining two of our favorite things…. This podcast and lots and lots of beer…YEAH! Oh wait, we do that every week… Oh, that's right, it's this podcast and….moooovies!! But… In true midnight train fashion, we can't just talk about movies…. We're gonna talk about cursed movies!!! That's right we are going to look at movies that for one reason or another have led to tragedy during and after the movies were made! Everything is on the table from health issues like cancer, accidental deaths while filming, people going crazy after filming, and just about everything else you can think of. Should be a fun and creepy ride discussing all these movies with you passengers and, in case you're wondering, yes we're still going to have a movies list at the end. Ok so let's get into this and see what we have as far as cursed movies! We're gonna start it with a big one since we just covered the subject matter of the film! The first cursed movie on our list is the exorcist. The filming of THE EXORCIST was done over nine months. The main set, a reproduction of the Georgetown home, was built in a warehouse in New York. During the filming, several curious incidents and accidents took place on the set and plagued those involved with the production. In addition, the budget of the film rose from $5 million to more than twice that amount. Obviously, any film production that lasts for more than a month or so will see its share of accidents and mishaps, but THE EXORCIST seems to have been particularly affected by unforeseeable calamities. Coincidence? Perhaps, but it left the cast and crew rightfully shaken. The first incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. one Sunday morning when a fire broke out on the set. There was only one security guard at the Ceco 54th Street Studios when the McNeil house set caught fire and burned. The fire was the result of a bad electrical circuit, but it shut down filming for six weeks while the set was reconstructed from scratch. Ironically, as soon as the new set was ready, the sprinkler system broke down, causing an additional two-week delay. Few of the actors in the film escaped personal troubles during the shoot. Just as Max Von Sydow (who played Father Merrin) touched down in New York to film his first scenes, he received a phone call saying that his brother died unexpectedly in Sweden. Von Sydow himself later became very ill during the filming. Irish actor Jack MacGowran (who played Burke Dennings) died only one week after his character was killed by the demon in the movie. Jason Miller (who played Father Karras) was stunned when his young son, Jordan, was struck down on an empty beach by a motorcyclist who appeared out of nowhere. The boy ALMOST died. THAT'S GOOD NEWS! Ellen Burstyn (who played Chris McNeill) wrenched her back badly during one scene when she was slapped by the possessed girl. The stunt went badly awry and she was laid up in bed for several weeks afterward, causing more delays in the filming. They had a rig attached to her where a guy offscreen would pull a rope that was tied to her to get that “smacked hard as shit and launched across the room” look the director wanted. Apparently, the director didn't like the first take or two and told the guy with the rope to yoke the living piss out of her. He got his shot. She screwed up her back. In New York, one of the carpenters accidentally cut off his thumb on the set and one of the lighting technicians lost a toe. This was all over the news at the time due to the mixup at the hospital where they put the wrong appendages on the wrong patients. Yep, they switched the toe for the thumb. And if you believed that, well… I'm not sorry even a little bit. Anyway, The exorcist's location trip to Iraq was delayed from the spring, which is relatively cool, to July, the hottest part of the summer, when the temperature rose to 130 degrees and higher. Out of the eighteen-man crew that was sent there, Friedkin lost the services of nine of them, at one time or another, due to dysentery (which is super shitty) or sunstroke. To make matters worse, the bronze statue of the neo-Assyrian winged demon Pazazu, which was packed in a ten-foot crate, got lost in an air shipment from Los Angeles and ended up in Hong Kong, which caused another two-week delay. "I don't know if it was a jinx, really," actress Ellen Burstyn later said. "But there were some really strange goings-on during the making of the film. We were dealing with some really heavy material and you don't fool around with that kind of material without it manifesting in some way. There were many deaths in the film. Linda's grandfather died, the assistant cameraman's wife had a baby that died, the man who refrigerated the set died, the janitor who took care of the building was shot and killed … I think overall there were nine deaths during the course of the film, which is an incredible amount… it was scary." Unholy shit, batman! Things got so bad that William Friedkin took some drastic measures. Father Thomas Bermingham, S.J., from the Jesuit community at Fordham University, had been hired as a technical advisor for the film, along with Father John Nicola, who, while not a Jesuit, had been taught by Jesuit theologians at St. Mary of the Lake Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois. Friedkin came to Bermingham and asked him to exorcise the set. The priest was unable to perform an actual exorcism, but he did give a solemn blessing in a ceremony that was attended by everyone then on the set, from Max Von Sydow to the technicians and grips. "Nothing else happened on the set after the blessing,” Bermingham stated, "but around that time, there was a fire in the Jesuit residence set in Georgetown." And while nothing else tragic occurred on the set, strange events and odd coincidences were reported during the post-production work on the film. "There were strange images and visions that showed up on film that were never planned," Friedkin later claimed. "There are double exposures in the little girl's face at the end of one reel that are unbelievable." As we talked about in previous episodes, The film opened on December 26, 1973, to massive crowds. Within weeks of the first public screenings of the film, stories started to make the rounds that audience members were fainting and vomiting in the theaters. There were also reports of disturbing nightmares and reportedly, several theater ushers had to be placed under a doctor's care, or quit their jobs, after experiencing successive showings of the movie. In numerous cities that were checked after THE EXORCIST had run for several weeks, reporters found that every major hospital had been forced to deal with patients who reported, after seeing the film, severe cases of vomiting and hallucinations. There were also reports of people being carried out of theaters in stretchers. What do you think, passengers? Mere publicity stunts, or was this the real thing? The info for this cursed movie came from a great article on americanhauntingsink.com check them out! Next up we're gonna dive into a sweet little movie about a tree, a child's toy, and REAL SKELETONS IN THE SWIMMING POOL! Yep, you guessed it, poltergeist! The curse of Poltergeist spawned many theories about why the movie and its sequels were cursed with so much tragedy, with one suggesting the use of real-life human bones in the original film caused the hauntings. Actress JoBeth Williams - who played the mother, Diane Freeling - is seen dropping into a pool of skeletons in one spooky scene and she later reveals the bones were real. She told TVLand: "In my innocence and naiveté, I assumed that these were not real skeletons. "I assumed that they were prop skeletons made out of plastic or rubber . . . I found out, as did the crew, that they were using real skeletons, because it's far too expensive to make fake skeletons out of rubber." Just four months after the film's release, tragedy struck with actress Dominique Dunne, who played the family's eldest daughter Dana, who became the victim of a grisly murder. On the day before Halloween in 1982, the actress, 22, was strangled by her ex-boyfriend John Thomas Sweeney outside their home in West Hollywood. She survived the attack but was left in a coma. She never regained consciousness and died five days later. Sweeney was later convicted of voluntary manslaughter and spent three and half years of a six-year sentence behind bars for the killing. He changed his name to John Maura so if you want to let him know what a twat he is, I mean… we can't stop you. In the years after the film's release movie bosses plowed ahead with plans for a sequel and Poltergeist II: The Other Side hit cinemas in 1986. Among the cast was Will Sampson, best known for playing Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest opposite Jack Nicholson. The actor - cast as shaman Taylor in the movie - was concerned about the use of real skeletons in the first film and offered to perform a real-life exorcism. He's believed to have conducted the ceremony alone and in the middle of the night, but the cast reportedly felt relieved afterward. However, less than a year after the film's release - the curse had claimed another victim. Sampson had long-term health problems as he suffered from a degenerative condition called scleroderma, which affected his heart and lungs. He underwent a heart and lung transplant in the summer of 1987 but died of post-operative kidney failure on June 3. Ok, this one is sad and you've probably heard of it. The most famous victim of the Poltergeist curse was Heather O'Rourke. She appeared as Carol Anne in the first two films as well as the third installment, Poltergeist III, which hit cinemas in 1988. She died just four months before the movie's release at only 12 years of age. In January 1988, Heather fell ill with what appeared to be flu-like symptoms. She collapsed at home the following day and was rushed to the hospital. She suffered a cardiac arrest but doctors were able to revive her and they diagnosed her with intestinal stenosis - a partial obstruction of the intestine. She underwent surgery, but went into cardiac arrest again in recovery and doctors were unable to save her. She passed away in February 1988, just weeks after her 12th birthday, and it was later reported she died from congenital stenosis and septic shock. Absolutely heartbreaking. Character actor Lou Perryman became the second cast member to fall victim to murder. He played Pugsley in the original movie and suffered a brutal end in 1992 when he was hacked to death with an ax aged 67. A convict recently released from prison, Seth Christopher Tatum, confessed he had killed Perryman at his home after coming off his medication and going on a drinking binge. Tatum pleaded guilty to his murder in 2011 and was sentenced to life in prison. Actor Richard Lawson played one of the parapsychologists, Ryan, in the original film (not the guy who ate the chicken with the maggots… you're welcome) and he came close to becoming another victim of the curse in 1992. He was involved in a terrifying plane crash in 1992 when the USAir Flight 405 crashed into New York City's Flushing Bay on route to guess where? Cleveland friggin Ohio. The crash claimed the lives of 27 of the 51 passengers, but Lawson was among the survivors. He put his lucky escape down to a last-minute seat change that saved his life. Lawson went on to be part of showbiz royalty when he married Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles in 2015. Info for this movie was taken from mirror.co.uk. Next up how about… Hmm…. Oh, I know… The omen! The 2976 version of course. Obviously, Moody is a time traveler and saw the upcoming remake, 955 friggin years in the future! No! It was 1976! Of all the world's cursed film productions, The Omen is considered to have one of the worst movie curses of all time. The 1976 film tells the story of a man who accidentally adopts Damien the Antichrist as his son and the movie remains one of horror's most successful franchises. But what was so odious about the set that led producers to believe the devil was punishing them for making the movie? Is The Omen really cursed? The Omen film set haunting includes death, injury, and lots of lightning bolts: after all, the creator himself warned the cast and crew that Satan wasn't going to like what they were doing. Here's what happened behind the scenes of The Omen movie and why, despite its several sequels and a 2006 remake, it remains one of history's movies that indeed may have angered Satan himself! In June 1975, Gregory Peck's son, Jonathan Peck, killed himself with a bullet to the head, two months before filming was to start. Several strange events then surrounded the production. For protection on the set of "The Omen," Bernhard wore a Coptic cross. In an interview, Bernhard spoke about the production's eerie events, which included the death of an animal trainer. Precisely one day after they shot the sequence involving the baboons at the animal center, Bernhard said that a tiger seized the animal trainer by the head, causing his death immediately. Whhhaat the fuuuuuck? One of the most haunting stories surrounding The Omen didn't happen during the shoot, but during the production of the World War II epic A Bridge Too Far. John Richardson, who did special effects on The Omen, was involved in a head-on collision that beheaded his girlfriend, eerily mirroring the decapitation scene with David Warner. Supposedly, after the crash, Richardson saw a street sign that said, "Ommen, 66.6 km." This accident occurred after The Omen had wrapped production, but many of course linked it to the evil aura of the film. Several planes were also set ablaze, including the plane carrying Peck and screenwriter David Seltzer. Meanwhile, Bernhard said they had to land in Nova Scotia after flying back from England. He added: "We had the film on board... Dick [Donner] and I were very, very nervous." IRA bombs ripped through a hotel, in which executive producer Mace Neufeld and his wife stayed, and another in which prominent executives and stars, including Peck, were to have dinner. Once word got back to Fox about all the terrible incidents that plagued production, the studio saw it as a great way to drum up a ton of publicity and add to the film's ominous aura. They also put a great tagline into the film's ad campaign: You have been warned. If something frightening happens to you today, think about it. It may be The Omen. As Donner recalled in The Omen: Curse or Coincidence, "If we had been making a comedy, you would have recalled all the funny, great, ridiculous, silly moments that happened in that film. if you were doing a love story, you'd remember all the times somebody left their wife, fell in love... You're doing The Omen, anything that happens on that film, you don't tell about the jokes, you don't talk about the love stories, you don't even think about them. You think about things that coincidentally could have been something to do with The Omen. We had lots of them." Creepy stuff right there my friends. Next up we have one of my personal all-time favorites, the crow! The Crow began filming in Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1993. Cursed Films revealed that before production got underway, a mysterious caller left a voicemail message warning the crew not to shoot the movie because bad things would happen. Eerily, two on-set electricians were involved in an accident in which their truck hit a live wire. One of the men experienced second and third-degree burns and lost both ears. Disaster also struck the entire production when a hurricane destroyed the movie set. That is when the “curse of The Crow” rumors began circulating in Hollywood. The star of The Crow, Brandon Lee, was the son of martial arts legend, Bruce Lee. The elder Lee died during the production of his final film. Some fans speculated that the Chinese mafia had placed a hit on the actor for betraying martial arts secrets. Others suspected that he had been struck by an insidious death blow at an earlier time. The most popular theory about The Dragon's death is that he was a victim of the Lee Family Curse. His older brother had died, and Lee's parents believed there was a demon targeting the males in the Lee family. Like his father, Brandon Lee died before he finished filming The Crow. In a fluke accident, the performer was shot while completing an action sequence, as described in Cursed Films. The crew used what are called ‘dummy rounds,' for the scene, but there was something in the barrel of the gun that acted as a lethal projectile, killing Lee. To complete the final photography for The Crow, the man who had been working as Lee's stunt double wore a mask in his image. Crazy stuff! How about some of our patented quick hitters! The Conqueror" is a whitewashed 1956 film with John Wayne as Genghis Khan. The film was shot at a location downwind from a nuclear testing site, causing dozens of crew members to eventually die of cancer. so maybe not so much a curse as a poor choice of locations. Apocalypse Now" The horror! Francis Ford Coppola was tempting fate when he decided to film "Apocalypse Now" during monsoon season. Big mistake. The monsoon destroyed multiple sets, Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack during filming, and Coppola was so stressed that he suffered a seizure, according to The Independent. "Apocalypse Now" (1979) turned out to be a masterpiece anyway, but the documentary "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse" about its making is just as engrossing. "Fitzcarraldo" Dysentery. Injuries. Fights among the crew. Nothing seemed to go right during the filming of 1982's "Fitzcarraldo." The story concerns hauling a boat over a hill, which the crew literally accomplished, but not without the same nightmarish difficulty as is depicted in the film. And in the end, director Werner Herzog looked as mad and overly driven as its hero. Check out the documentary "Burden of Dreams" for more. The Superman Curse Comic book movie fans may know about the "Superman Curse," which is said to afflict multiple actors involved in Superman films. Christopher Reeve was paralyzed following a horse accident. And Margot Kidder, who played Lois opposite Reeve, suffered from bipolar disorder, according to TCM. Also, the original Superman, George Reeves, supposedly committed suicide. His death at age 45 from a gunshot remains a controversial subject; the official finding was suicide, but some believe that he was murdered or the victim of an accidental shooting. "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" Bad luck ran amok in Middle Earth during the filming of 2002's "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers." DVD interviews revealed that multiple actors and stuntmen suffered injuries while shooting the film's elaborate fight sequences. The worst was Viggo Mortensen, who broke his toe and chipped his tooth while filming. The Exorcism of Emily rose Dexter star Jennifer Carpenter reported that during the making of The Exorcism of Emily Rose — in which she played a big-screen version of German woman Anneliese Michel, whose poor health and subsequent death was blamed on a failed exorcism — her radio would mysteriously turn on and off. From an interview with Dread Central: Q: A common question when making a film like this; did anything weird happen during filming? JC: I thought about that when it happened, and two or three times when I was going to sleep my radio came on by itself. The only time it scared me was once because it was really loud and it was Pearl Jam's “Alive” (laughs). Laura's TV came on a couple of times. Q: At 3:00 a.m.? JC: Mine wasn't 3:00 a.m. I was born at 3:00 a.m. but it hasn't happened to me. I did check. We'll totally do an episode on Analiese one of these days Psycho Myra Jones (aka Myra Davis) was the uncredited body double/stand-in for Psycho star Janet Leigh during the making of Hitchcock's 1960 film. A handyman named Kenneth Dean Hunt, who was supposedly a Hitchcock “obsessive,” murdered her. The Conjuring Real-life ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren, who aided the real-life Amityville Horror case, investigated the haunting of the Perron family home — a farmhouse plagued by generations of death, disaster, and a possessed doll. The case inspired James Wan's supernatural film, which left some audiences in the Philippines with such a fright there were priests available at screenings to bless viewers and provide counseling. On and off-set paranormal incidents — including strange claw marks on star Vera Farmiga's computer, Wan's tormented dog growling at invisible intruders, a strange wind (that apparently put Carolyn Perron in the hospital), and fire — were reported. The Innkeepers Filmed at the reportedly haunted hotel the Yankee Pedlar Inn in Torrington, Connecticut, The Innkeepers director Ti West was skeptical about the strange occurrences during the making of his movie. Still, creepy stories from the set became the focus in the press. From an interview with West: I'm a skeptic so I don't really buy it. But I've definitely seen doors close by themselves; I've seen a TV turn off and on by itself; lights would always burn out in my room. Everyone on the crew has very vivid dreams every night, which is really strange. The one story that is the most intriguing to me — In the film, the most haunted room is the Honeymoon Suite. That's where the ghost stuff started in the hotel. The only reason I picked the room that I picked to shoot in, was because it was big enough to do a dolly shot. No more thought went into it other than pure technical reasons. So when we're finishing the movie, I find out that the most haunted room in real life is the room I picked to be the haunted room in the movie. It could be a coincidence. It's weird that it happened that way. . . . [Star] Sara Paxton would wake up in the middle of the night thinking someone was in the room with her. Everyone has stories, but I was too busy saying, “Let's shoot this! We have 17 days! Atuk" "Atuk" is a movie so cursed that it never got made. The project, based on a 1963 Mordecai Richler novel about an Eskimo in New York, had four different men attached to play the lead while in development hell through the 1970s and '80s: John Belushi, Sam Kinison, John Candy, and Chris Farley. All four died shortly after entering negotiations to be in the film. Holy shit! Ok how about twilight zone the movie. The 1983 film 'Twilight Zone: The Movie' directed by John Landis and Steven Spielberg gained publicity pre-release because of the deaths of lead actor Vic Morrow and two child extras during the filming of the helicopter crash scene. The children were illegally hired to play the role in this scene, as Landis would go on to reveal in the subsequent trial. It was also prohibited to make children work after a certain hour in the evening. However, Landis insisted that the scene would have to entail a late-night setting to seem more authentic. This was the last scene in the film. It also included explosions as a helicopter flew over the village while Morrow would run across the street to save the Vietnamese children from the explosion. Testing for the scene sparked concerns when the helicopter seemed to vigorously rock at the explosion but despite this, Landis' need to capture the explosion took priority. He reportedly said, "You think that was big? You ain't seen nothing yet." At the controls of this helicopter was a Vietnam War veteran named Dorcey Wingo, who had just joined the movie business. When the cameras began filming, the pyrotechnic fireball that had been fired as part of the explosion hit the helicopter, engulfing it in flames. The helicopter then crashed into the river where the actors were standing — Morrow, 6-year-old Renee Chen, and 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le. Almost a hundred people were present when the tragedy occurred. The helicopter skidded right onto Renee, crushing her to death and when it toppled over, the main blade sliced through Morrow and Myca. Rosemary's baby is next up on the list. Over the years, the myth surrounding Roman Polanski's 1968 film Rosemary's Baby has only grown in stature. The film is based on the 1967 novel of the same name by American novelist Ira Levin. He came up with the idea for the book in 1965, drawing inspiration from his wife who was pregnant at the time, his New York apartment, and the anxiety of being a parent. The struggling writer imagined a world where there was no God and the devil was allowed to reign freely. This is evident in the iconic ending where Rosemary finds out that her husband sold her womb to Satan and that her child is the Antichrist. Levin was catapulted into the highest echelons of the literary world due to the success of his novel and a year later, a European auteur who was looking for his own Hollywood break decided to direct the film adaptation of his novel. However, not everyone was pleased with Levin's attacks on religion. He faced severe backlash from the Catholic Church for his “blasphemy” and his wife left him the year the film was released. He was never the same man again, growing increasingly paranoid over the years. Levin repeatedly had to make public statements denouncing Satanism and told Dick Cavett that he had become “terrified” as he grew older. 30 years after the release of the film, Levin came up with a sequel titled Son of Rosemary but it tanked. William Castle was the man who first recognized the potential of Levin's work and secured the rights to make a film adaptation. Best known for his work on B-grade horror films, Castle wanted to direct it initially but Paramount Pictures executive Robert Evans agreed to go ahead with the project only if Castle worked as a producer. In April of 1969, Castle was hospitalized because of severe kidney stones. He was already under a lot of stress due to the sheer volume of hate mail he received, a terrible consequence of being attached to Rosemary's Baby. In his autobiography, he claimed that he began to hallucinate scenes from the film during his surgery and even shouted, “Rosemary, for God's sake drop that knife!” Although Castle recovered, he never reached that level of success again. Producer Robert Evans was not exempt from this alleged curse either. He had risen to the top with major hits like Rosemary's Baby and The Godfather. However, he was convicted of cocaine trafficking in 1980 and got a suspended prison sentence. As a part of his plea bargain, Evans had to make an anti-drug commercial. Three years later, the producer would get caught up in the high-profile murder of Roy Radin which has come to be known as the “Cotton Club murder”. Despite two witnesses testifying that Evans was involved in the case, he was later cleared of the charges. In 1993, he told The New York Times, “I had 10 years of a horrific life, Kafkaesque. There were nights I cried myself to sleep.” This is arguably the most renowned story that is related to Rosemary's Baby. In autumn of 1968, composer Krzysztof Komeda, who worked on the film, fell off a rocky escarpment while partying and went into a four-month coma. Coincidentally, this affliction is exactly what the witches in Levin's book subject Rosemary's suspicious friend to. Komeda never came out of the coma and died in Poland the following year. John Lennon was assassinated outside The Dakota in 1980, the famous building where they filmed Rosemary's Baby. Producer Robert Evans claimed that the whole time he was on set at the apartment building he felt a “distinctly eerie feeling”. Lennon was gunned down by alleged “fan” Mark David Chapman who was influenced by Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye and the loneliness of protagonist Holden Caulfield. However, the fleeting association with the film has led fans of the film to link Lennon's assassination with the “curse” of the film. It can be said that the primary reason why the myth of the curse came about was the brutal murder of Polanski's wife, actress Sharon Tate. Polanski even wanted to cast Tate as Rosemary but Evans was adamant about Mia Farrow's involvement. A year after the film's release, Tate and her friends were stabbed to death by followers of cult leader Charles Manson. Tate was eight-and-a-half months pregnant at the time of her demise. The members of the Manson Family delivered around 100 stab wounds to the four victims and wrote “Helter Skelter” on the wall in blood. After his wife and unborn son were killed, Polanski indulged in substance abuse to cope with things but he ended up exemplifying human depravity. While guest editing the French edition of Vogue in 1977, the director preyed upon a 13-year old girl and persuaded her to participate in multiple photoshoots. During the second shoot at Jack Nicholson's house, he incapacitated the minor with champagne and half a Quaalude before sexually violating her multiple times. Although he was arrested for the felony and spent 42 days in jail, Polanski became a fugitive and fled to France to avoid facing charges. Since then, he has lived the life of a criminal and has avoided traveling to countries where he can be extradited back to the US. Ok, let's round things out with the wizard of oz. Despite its commercial success, The Wizard of Oz is seen by some as cursed. There were so many serious accidents onset that those Oscar-nominated special effects almost cost cast members their lives, from the two actors playing winged monkeys crashing to the ground when the wires that hoisted them up in the air broke, to the Wicked Witch of the West's stunt double Betty Danko injuring her left leg when the broomstick exploded. Buddy Ebsen was originally cast in the role of the Tin Woodman, a.k.a. the Tin Man, but he was essentially poisoned by the makeup, which was made of pure aluminum dust. Nine days after filming started he was hospitalized, sitting under an oxygen tent. When he was not getting better fast enough, the filmmakers hired Jack Haley to be the Tin Man instead. This time, instead of applying the aluminum powder, the makeup artists mixed it into a paste and painted it on him. He did develop an infection in his right eye that needed medical attention, but it ended up being treatable. Margaret Hamilton — who played the Wicked Witch of the West and was the one tipped who Harmetz off to the turmoil on set more than three decades later for her 1977 book — got burns, and the makeup artists had to rush to remove her copper makeup so that it wouldn't seep through her wounds and become toxic. Unlike Ebsen, she didn't get fired because they could live without her on the set for several more weeks. An actor playing one of the Wicked Witch of the West's soldiers accidentally jumped on top of Dorothy's Toto, Carl Spitz, the dog trainer on set, told Harmetz. The dog (a female Cairn terrier named Terry) sprained its foot, and Spitz had to get a canine double. Terry did recover and returned to the set a few weeks later. In a memoir by Judy Garland's third husband, Sid Luft, published posthumously in 2017, he writes that, after bar-hopping in Culver City, the actors who played the munchkins “would make Judy's life miserable by putting their hands under her dress.” Harmetz says it's true that the actors would go drinking near the Culver City hotel where they stayed, but she says their interactions with Garland did not rise to the level of what Luft described. “Nobody on the movie ever saw her or heard of a munchkin assaulting her,” said one worker on the film. Garland did say the drinking was annoying in an interview with talk-show host Jack Paar, but experts on Garland's life say that her rant about being scarred by the rowdy behavior on set may have been a deflection from the real damage she suffered during that time, at the hands of the studio. Garland was only 16 when she made The Wizard of Oz, and her struggles with depression and disordered eating started at an early age and continued for the rest of her life. She claimed that the studio executives gave her uppers and sleeping pills so she could keep up with the demanding pace of show business. She struggled with drug addiction and attempted suicide several times before she died of an accidental overdose on June 22, 1969, at just 47 years old. The film went through four different producers by the time it was through. Richard Thorpe, the first director, insisted that Judy Garland wear a blonde wig and thick makeup to depict Dorothy. When Buddy Epsen got sick from his Tin Man makeup and filming shut down for two weeks, the studio fired Thorpe and replaced him with George Cukor of My Fair Lady fame. Cukor encouraged Garland to wear natural makeup and play Dorothy less cartoonish and more natural. Cukor later left the film to work on Gone with the Wind instead and Viktor Fleming took his place. However, Cukor came back a few weeks later after getting fired from Gone With the Wind by Clark Gable (supposedly he was fired when Gable found out he was homosexual). Director King Vidor was responsible for most of the sepia sequences and also helped Mervyn LeRoy with editing in post-production. Not only did the public think former kindergarten teacher Margaret Hamilton was really evil following the first airing of The Wizard of Oz — she also suffered physically for the role. Hamilton received second and third-degree burns all over her body when the green copper makeup she was wearing got too hot during the fire scene. Her stunt double spent months in the hospital after a prop broom exploded — they were using a double because Hamilton got injured on an earlier take. Stage makeup and prosthetics in 1939 were nowhere near what they are today. Ray Bolger's Scarecrow makeup left deeply embedded marks in his skin that didn't disappear for more than a year after the movie wrapped up filming. Luckily, this would never happen today. How bout that hanging munchkin… Well, sorry folks. That seems to be fake. In a scene where Dorothy, the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), and the Tin Man (Jack Haley) are skipping down the Yellow Brick Road, singing “we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz,” some think the dark, moving figure hanging from a tree in the background is an actor who hanged himself on set. More likely, it's one of the exotic birds that the filmmakers borrowed from the Los Angeles Zoo to create a wilderness setting. The rumor has been circulating since around 1989, the time of the 50th anniversary of the film's release. Alright, there you have it… Cursed movies!!!

Dana and Tom celebrate their 75th episode with an American classic as well as the most viewed movie of all-time: The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lehr. Plot Summary: In Kansas, Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) lives with her dog, Toto, on a farm belonging to her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. After the spiteful Miss Almira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton) takes away Toto for biting her, Dorothy decides to run away to save her dog. Caught in a cyclone, Dorothy is whisked away to Munchkinland in the Land of Oz. Seeking to return to Kansas, Glinda the Good Witch of the North gifts Dorothy ruby slippers, and angers the wicked Witch of the West who also wants them. However, to find her way home, Glinda tells Dorothy to follow the Yellow Brick Road to Emerald City, where she can ask the Wizard of Oz to help her. On her journey, Dorothy meets a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) who wants a brain; a Tin Woodman (Jack Haley) who seeks a heart; and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who desires courage. Dorothy and her three unlikely companions travel to the Emerald City to find the Wizard, and help Dorothy to find home.

The "Sealtest Village Store" was a followup to the "Rudy Vallee Show" and premiered in 1943 with Joan Davis in the lead and Jack Haley taking over from Vallee as the male presence on the show. Davis carried the show so well, that she went on to her own solo series in mid-1945, leaving Haley to mind the store until he left in 1947. Then cast member Eve Arden took over the hosting duties for a few months when she was joined by Jack Carson. They both departed the series in 1948 with Arden getting the plum role of the sardonic schoolteacher in "Our Miss Brooks".

Jack Haley as been recast in the role of the Tin Man, and Tara and EmKay are here to admire his baby blues and vocal riffs. Other rabbit holes include a moment of appreciation for the voice of Snow White (another Disney Legend!), a possible explanation of why the Wicked Witch of the West is green, and a deleted bee scene that never came to be animated (probably for the best).

This week on Total Movie Recall, we acknowledge that The Wizard of Oz is, yes, a classic. However, it's missing a certain je ne sais quoi, and we try to put our fingers on exactly what it needed. We conclude that classic, whimsical children's film needed more childhood lobotomy, forced imprisonment, Queens pulling their own heads off, and Veruca Salt. Or Fairuza Balk? Potato potato. Return to Oz (1985) d. Walter Murch Based on books by L. Frank Baum Starring: Fairuza Balk as Dorothy Nicol Williamson as the Nome King Jean Marsh as Mombi Piper Laurie as Aunt Em Brian Henson as Jack Pumpkinhead Dorothy discovers she is back in the land of Oz, and finds the yellow brick road is now a pile of rubble, and the Emerald City is in ruins. Discovering that the magical land is now under the control of an evil empire, she sets off to rescue the scarecrow, the tin man and the cowardly lion with the help of her new friends.

1939 was the year when many of the finest films were made. Films from that year include “Gone with the Wind”; “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”; “Goodbye, Mr. Chips”; “Stagecoach”; and “Dark Victory”. For our podcast we discuss another of the excellent films from 1939, “The Wizard of Oz”. Director Victor Fleming did a masterful job bringing L. Frank Baum’s 1900 children’s fantasy to the screen. King Vidor took over some of the work when Mr. Fleming was called to direct “Gone with the Wind”. Together both Directors left us with an amazing film that is as engaging today as it was over 80 years ago.The cast is excellent. Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale, Frank Morgan playing five characters, Ray Bolger as The Scarecrow, The Tin Man played by Jack Haley, Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion, The Wicked Witch of the West played by Margaret Hamilton, Billie Burke as Glinda, Dorothy’s dog Toto and many more fine performances.Everything about the film is outstanding - the sepia tone color in the opening scenes, the big storm, the Technicolor, the Munchkins, the costumes and the wonderful music make this a favorite for millions of people including us.Here's a link to the IMDB page for "The Wizard of Oz"Over on Patreon we have a special episode on the film history of Astoria, Oregon. And available 2 weeks early is our review of “An American in Paris”.And as we mentioned in this episode, here's a link to "Farewell to Manzanar" on YouTube, which is a film that we will be reviewing a few more episodes.Become a Patron!Support us over on Patreon!
In Breaking Walls episode 100 we focus on the radio career of Lucille Ball, arguably the most famous comedienne of the twentieth century. She rose through the ranks in New York as a model before a small role in Eddie Cantor’s Roman Scandals brought her to Hollywood in 1933 where she gained prominence. When the 1940s began, Ball was a b-film actress known for playing the other woman. As she gained critical respect for both her dramatic and comedic ability, she insisted that her and Desi Arnaz made a perfect on-screen duo. It led to a revolution in the way TV was shot and produced in the 1950s, all under their company Desilu. —————————— Highlights: • Jack Haley, Phil Baker, and RKO • Lucy Meets Gale Gordon • How a Holiday Publicity Trip to New York changed Lucy’s Life • Lucy meets Desi • Too Many Girls • Lucy and Desi Elope in November 1940 • Harold Lloyd’s A Girl, a Guy, and a Gob and The Old Gold Comedy Theater • The Tragic Death of Carole Lombard and Lucy’s First Miscarriage • Lucy Stars on Suspense • Desi Strays and Lucy Files for Divorce • The Couple Reconciles and Decides To Work in Radio • Desi and Bob Hope • CBS, My Sister Eileen, and My Friend Irma • Lucy Guests with Jimmy Durante and Bob Hope • Eve Arden and Our Miss Brooks • Lucy Says "Yes" to Bill Paley and My Favorite Husband is Born • Jess Oppenheimer, Bob Carroll Jr., and Madelyn Pugh Join The Team • Lucy Wants to Work With Desi • I Love Lucy is Developed and Philip Morris Signs On • The I Love Lucy Radio Pilot • Changing History and Looking Ahead —————————— The WallBreakers: http://thewallbreakers.com Subscribe to Breaking Walls everywhere you get your podcasts.

We were gone for a week because of our new magical adventure! We've traveled to magical lands before, but none of them have the charm and luster of Oz! Surely it will be much the same when we go back. Tony would like to blame his sister Annie for both suggesting this movie AND The Film Reroll, and therefore being the driving force behind this episode. Important questions: What's with Glinda's glassy smile? Is Toto the best dog actor ever? Child torture: an acceptable way to start a movie? Keep an ear out for Tony harassing his online friends while Andy admits to liking a movie where a king is blown up by a chicken. Our outro music is Theme from Penguins on Parade by Lee Rosevere.

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!" Victor Fleming didn't just direct two movies in 1939, he directed two of what many consider to be the greatest films made – ”Gone With the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz.” Where the former, though, has more problems to contend with in today's society, what with its depiction of slavery and race in the South during the Civil War, the latter is nothing but pure cinematic joy. Seen by more people than any other movie, “The Wizard of Oz” has become infused in who we are. Quotes from the movie can pop up in everyday conversation without people even realizing they're quoting it. The songs – particularly “Over the Rainbow” – have been burned into our brains at an early age. It truly is a shining example of what cinema can be. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our ‘films of 1939' series with one of the great cinema achievements, Flemings' “The Wizard of Oz.” We talk about what makes this film so great and why it's lasted so long, looking at everything from the story to the music to Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. We discuss Fleming as the main director putting the film together, the 14 writers tasked with bringing this script to life, and L. Frank Baum, the author of the original Oz stories. We chat about the actors – Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Margaret Hamilton, Jerry Maren, the Singer Midgets and more (not to mention Terry the dog as Toto) – and look at what they all bring to the table here. We chat about Buddy Gillespie's special effects, Adrian's costumes, Harold Rosson's cinematography, Herbert Stothart's music adaptation, Harold Arlen's & Yip Harberg's songs and Mervyn LeRoy's & Arthur Freed's producing, tying together all the elements they each were responsible for. And we comment on the popularity of the film, chat about it being a gay icon, and look at how it started at a loss but ended up making bank over the decades. It's one of the greats and certainly one we have a lot of passion about discussing. Check it out!

"Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore!" Victor Fleming didn’t just direct two movies in 1939, he directed two of what many consider to be the greatest films made – ”Gone With the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz.” Where the former, though, has more problems to contend with in today’s society, what with its depiction of slavery and race in the South during the Civil War, the latter is nothing but pure cinematic joy. Seen by more people than any other movie, “The Wizard of Oz” has become infused in who we are. Quotes from the movie can pop up in everyday conversation without people even realizing they’re quoting it. The songs – particularly “Over the Rainbow” – have been burned into our brains at an early age. It truly is a shining example of what cinema can be. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our ‘films of 1939’ series with one of the great cinema achievements, Flemings’ “The Wizard of Oz.” We talk about what makes this film so great and why it’s lasted so long, looking at everything from the story to the music to Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. We discuss Fleming as the main director putting the film together, the 14 writers tasked with bringing this script to life, and L. Frank Baum, the author of the original Oz stories. We chat about the actors – Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Margaret Hamilton, Jerry Maren, the Singer Midgets and more (not to mention Terry the dog as Toto) – and look at what they all bring to the table here.

My Cringe & ‘Ah-Ha' Moments Early on -'I started teaching players what I was taught' and did not take the time to study whether it was really the best way to teach Teaching Skills Set up the expectation that the players need to bring the excitement and passion for the game, and as a coach you will be teaching them the skills they need to achieve success Spend 75-80% of your practice time on fundamentals - not X's and O's. Great question to ask yourself at the younger ages: 'How many times per game do we score from one of our offensive sets?' - If it's rare -then quit spending so much time on it and focus instead on teaching the kids fundamentals. Building confidence Living by numbers - They have created 15 core drills that can be measured numerically. The focus is on improvement. Culture – Discipline/Rewards/Teambuilding Lee is a big believer in energy in the gym. This starts on Day 1. The three T's: Talk Touch Tap Every player is either a proton or an electron - they are either bringing positive energy or negative energy Connecting with and Impacting Kids Lee coached a kid who was on the bubble as to making his middle school - but he committed and stuck with it and worked hard - and went on his make his freshmen team Memorable Game When Lee was coaching in high school - he had a loaded team that lost in the Elite 8 of the state championships - one lesson learned was that they should have gotten some of their younger players more experience earlier in the season Best Stolen Idea Go to other teams/coaches' practices!

Celebrated Hollywood author Laurie Jacobson visits Movie Addict Headquarters to discuss Hollywood Haunted, her acclaimed book that covers more than 100 years of ghostly goings-on in filmland. Spooky tales about haunted houses, hotels, studios and theaters abound in this entertaining exploration of Hollywood hot spots and famous ghost sightings, including such stars as Bela Lugosi, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift and Errol Flynn.

While performing with improv groups, Laurie immersed herself in the history of those who came before her. The stories she uncovered during this period became the basis for her debut, archetype book, Hollywood Heartbreak, a 75-year history of Hollywood told through the lives and deaths of 31 people. Following its publication, Laurie emerged as a leading Hollywood historian. Her other books include Dishing Hollywood and Timmy’s in the Well – The Jon Provost Story.

Fred Allen's variety show included a cast of oddball characters that all lived on Allen's Alley. In general, Fred would ask some sort of topical question and would get a funny answer by characters ranging from Senator Claghorn, who inspired the Foghorn Leghorn character, to Mrs. Nussbaum, a stereotypical Jewish lady from the 1940's. This episode features guest star Jack Haley, who you might recall as the Tin Woodman in the classic movie "The Wizard of Oz."
