I was hoping they'd be showing it here in Sacramento with that 'Fantom Events' thing they're doing, but no such luck. Bummer.

My friend was at that screening and saw the munchkins!
"Can die happy. Saw munchkins from the orginal Wizard of Oz movie tonight. Woah!"

Ahhhh - just checked. It was some 70th anniversary function at Tavern on the Green last night.

The coroner? The guy who sings "As coroner I must aver/I've thoroughly examined her"? That guy is great!

in my mind this always aired on Easter but it looks like that was only 1978, but I certainly remember that showing.
