An extreme weather event transports Dorothy Gale from her monochrome Kansas farm to a Technicolor dreamworld beyond the rainbow, beginning one of the greatest fantasy adventures ever to light up the screen. Witches’ potions, ruby slippers and MGM’s studio wizardry aside, it’s 16-year-old Judy Garland’s spellbinding screen presence, and Dorothy’s unquestionable power to inspire love and self-belief in the broken and downcast, that create the real enchantment. Presented in a stunning digital restoration.
