Everything you ever wanted to know about the making of The Wizard of Oz is here.

This engaging documentary explores the creation of MGM’s beloved Technicolor classic, from its lavish production and original New York premiere at the Capitol Theatre to its celebrated place at the February 1940 Academy Awards—where Gone With the Wind reigned supreme.

Narrated with warmth and elegance by Angela Lansbury, the film traces the history of L. Frank Baum’s Oz stories, the casting decisions behind the iconic characters, and the challenges faced by the cast and crew under the blazing Technicolor lights. Ray Bolger and Jack Haley recall the punishing makeup and costumes that made even eating at the studio commissary an ordeal, while Judy Garland, seen in rare television clips, humorously embellishes tales from the set—prompting daughters Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft to note their mother’s legendary wit and playful exaggeration.

Director Mervyn LeRoy discusses the evolution of the production and the decision to place the film in the hands of Victor Fleming, following earlier involvement by Richard Thorpe and George Cukor. Vintage footage captures Garland and Mickey Rooney besieged by fans and photographers at Grand Central Station during their personal appearances at the Capitol Theatre, as well as their visit with Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Highlights include Garland receiving her special Academy Award for Best Juvenile Performance.

Packed with revealing behind-the-scenes stories, the documentary details Buddy Ebsen’s near-fatal Tin Man makeup ordeal that led to Jack Haley’s recasting, and Margaret Hamilton’s harrowing account of the accident that left her severely burned during the Wicked Witch’s fiery exit. The film also reveals early abandoned concepts for the Witch—including makeup tests with Gale Sondergaard—and demonstrates how the legendary cyclone effect was achieved.

Illustrated throughout with memorable scenes from the film, this documentary is an affectionate, informative celebration of one of cinema’s most enduring fantasies—essential viewing for anyone who has ever followed the Yellow Brick Road.

Tropical Fringe Fun for My Summer Outfits
Color: Natural, Color: Natural
I am absolutely obsessed with this straw purse because it feels like a vacation in my hand. The first thing I noticed is how the raffia fringe has this playful half moon shape that looks like a little lion mane but in a very high fashion way. My daughter even joked that it looks like a giant fancy taco which makes it such a fun and unique piece to carry around. It is incredibly lightweight which is a huge relief because I do not want to carry a heavy bag when the weather is hot. Even though it looks compact on my mannequin, it is surprisingly roomy inside and fits my phone and all my daily essentials without feeling stuffed. The magnetic closure is quite strong so I do not have to worry about my things falling out while I am walking around a summer party or a night out. The neutral tan and cream colors in the fringe make it very easy to match with almost any outfit I own. I really appreciate the small metal brand patch on the front because it gives the bag a more polished and expensive look than a typical straw tote you might find at a souvenir shop. One thing to keep in mind is that the raffia is very textured so you should probably be careful with delicate silk fabrics so it does not snag. It feels very sturdy and well made for something that is woven from grass and I love how the fringe adds so much movement when I am moving around. This bag is definitely going to be my go to accessory for the rest of the season because it is both stylish and very practical for my needs.

👜 Effortless Spring-to-Summer Clutch That Feels One-of-a-Kind
Color: Natural
👜 Effortless Spring-to-Summer Clutch That Feels One-of-a-Kind I’ve been a longtime fan of Sam Edelman, especially because they actually make stylish pieces that work for real life. So when I saw this clutch, I had a feeling it would be good… but I didn’t expect it to hit *this* level. This bag is a vibe. The raffia texture and that half-moon fringe give it such a unique, standout look without trying too hard. It feels like the perfect piece to roll right into spring and carry straight through summer. Think beach days, dinners out, travel nights, all of it. What I love most is that it doesn’t look like everything else out there. It feels original, like you found something special instead of just grabbing another basic clutch. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and the magnetic closure keeps things simple and secure. It also pairs effortlessly with different outfits. You can dress it up or keep it casual and it still works. Now let’s be real, it’s a designer piece, so it’s not cheap. But for the style, quality, and uniqueness, I do think it delivers strong value for money. Five stars from me. This one’s coming with me everywhere this season ☀️

Super cute clutch!
Color: Natural
This is a beautiful clutch. I got the “Natural” color, and the tones are definitely subtle. I am already eyeing the Spicy one too, but for me, the natural color is just easier to match with outfits. I did laugh though because my nephew said it looks like a taco, but honestly that just makes me love it even more! The material is extremely nice, it feels very premium and well made. I was a bit nervous because I have had cheaper bags with that shredded-style material that flakes and falls apart, but that is not the case here. It feels really well made. I cannot speak for long-term durability yet, but so far there is no shedding or anything like that. I also did not notice any loose stitching or threads at all, it just feels like a high-quality bag. It has small magnets to keep it closed, which work nicely. There is not a ton of space since it is a clutch, but there is still enough room for my phone and a few small items, so it works well. Overall, it is just a really gorgeous, well made bag, and I really do not have anything to complain about.

Lily Clutch - awkward size and fabric.
Color: Spicy, Color: Spicy
The Sam Edelman Lily Clutch handbag is a bit awkward, in my opinion. I've been told that it looks like a taco and like a folded up rug, and it does look rather awkward. It's also much larger and bulkier than I was expecting. I can't even find a comfortable or natural way to hold it. I don't love how it bulges out on the sides or the way it's difficult to grip because of the fabric design. It's eye catching and a good conversation piece, but it feels impractical. It's more of a statement piece than a useful every day bag or something I'd want to take on a long outing. It looks interesting, but it isn't a bag that makes my life easier or more compact.
