The Wizard of Oz was released the year that WWII broke out
The Wizard of Oz is one of the most beloved films in cinema history and has remained current despite being released so many decades ago. The beloved movie came out in 1939, the same year that Nazi Germany invaded Poland.
This means that while WWII was kicking off in Europe, American moviegoers were watching Judy Garland dance and sing on the big screen. It is facts like these that put the world into a different perspective, for better or for worse.
