Why did The Wizard of Oz premier in Oconomowoc Wisconsin on August 12 1939?
"The Wizard of Oz" had its big Hollywood premiere on Aug. 15, 1939, but it debuted first, officially, a few days earlier in Oconomowoc, Wis., at the Strand Theatre. Studio chiefs spent so much money on its production ($2.7 million) that they were eager to see how it would play in America's heartland. Oconomowoc was also the hometown of one of the Munchkins (Meinhardt Raabe) and Wisconsin was the home state of Herbert Stothart, who won an Oscar for the musical score to "Oz."
What did the Winkies chant in The Wizard of Oz?
"All hail to Dorothy! The wicked witch is dead!" [from Double071] ------------------------------- ...Sorry Double071 I believe the question referred to what the guards were chanting as they marched around the castle. IMDB--The movie folks say this about differing interpretations of the chant: "They include "All we own, we owe her"; "Oh we love the old one"; and "Oh we loathe the old one." The screenplay shows that the correct lyrics are "O-Ee-Yah! Eoh-Ah!." The chant acts as a sort of audio inkblot." But one must consider that IMDB is a user-written source, which may not be accurate. I have searched the screenplay and have found no such lyrics for the Winkies' marching chant. (The guards were called the Winkies). My BEST ANSWER: I personally knew Meinhardt Raabe, who played the munchkin Coroner, ("She's most sincerely dead!") ...he, obviously WAS THERE... and he told me they were chanting, "Oh-We-Love...The-Old-One --Oh-We-Love...The-Old-One!" referring to the Wicked Witch Of The West. (Margaret Hamilton). I trust the WITNESS to the filming more than an internet database (IMDB).
