Victor Fleming family magical fantasy adventure musical ("MGM's miracle musical show of shows!"; "It's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor triumph!"; "Magnificent in its brilliant Technicolor splendor!"; "At Last It's Here Biggest Sensation Since "Snow White"!"; "The mighty miracle show that is the talk of America!"; "Amazing sights to see! The Tornado, Munchkinland, Horse of a Different Color, Startling Balloon Ascent, The Flying Monkeys, The Tree That Throws Apples"; "Gaiety! Glory! Glamour!"; based on the classic book of the same name by L. Frank Baum; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring
Judy Garland (as Dorothy),
Frank Morgan (in the title role as The Wizard of Oz!),
Ray Bolger (as The Scarecrow),
Bert Lahr (as The Cowardly Lion),
Jack Haley (as The Tin Man),
Billie Burke (as Glinda, the Good Witch),
Margaret Hamilton (as the Wicked Witch),
Charley Grapewin, "The Munchkins", and Toto too! Note that MGM was worried about how well this movie would do at the box office, and they did something we don't remember seeing on any other major movie advertising! One of the taglines says "Biggest sensation since Snow White", which means MGM was advertising a
Walt Disney movie, but that shows just how worried they were! Of course, they needn't have worried, because this was a timeless classic that has only improved with age.

Also note that this is an advance one-sheet (note the "One Week Only Starting September 20" at the bottom of the poster). Finally, note that this is a double-sided poster. From the 1990s on, movie posters were often made in double-sided versions (for use in light boxes). If we do not note that a poster is double-sided (as this is), then it is single-sided. Note that the image on the reverse is a mirror image of the image on the front!
Condition: very good. The poster has a few light or tiny, visible creases mostly around the edges, but overall it is in pretty nice condition and it will display well.
