Where scarecrows dance, and pumpkinheads sing, where wogglebugs talk and witches cast spells, where an enchanted little boy can live the magical adventures of his dreams."; "so many thrills you'll be ozified"; "All new, all live, never before shown anywhere!"; based on the classic L. Frank Baum story) starring Chan Mahon, Al Joseph, George Wadsworth, Michael R. Thomas, Gil Fields, Zisca, Caroline Berner, Hilary Lee Gaess, and Joy Webb. Note that director Barry Mahon had a fascinating life that could fill several movies! He was an American pilot for England in World War II and he was shot down and put in a POW camp, and he escaped and was the basis for the Steve McQueen character in the movie "The Great Escape" (Mahon also loved motorcycles). He became Errol Flynn's pilot and later Errol Flynn's manager. He then made many sexploitation "nudie cuties" movies in the 1950s and 1960s, but at the end of his career, he made a drastic shift, and made several children's movies (perhaps he found religion?). You can click on his name for a more complete version of this biography of his life.
