In 1969, Barry Mahon decided that he was done making skin flicks and made a kiddie flick. He made the Wonderful Land of Oz. It is based on the second Oz book.
It is mostly lost to history, probably because it was so low budget it had no chance to be all it wanted to be.
David Macpherson, as part of the First Watch Chronicles, picked this as the next movie to write about.
He goes into the history of the film and the book as well as a variety of other topics that came to mind.
He writes about: adaptation, the 60s Children's Matinees, the weird phenomena of creators who make children's work as well as naughty adult material, as well as other topics.
He writes about all these topics with respect and irreverence.
He allows you to learn of several notions and ideas while watching a threadbare fantasy movie. Get the book, watch the movie, and come up with your own opinion.
