This fun filled retrospective on effects and techniques is developed by the pioneers of MGM Studios. Movie magic secrets are revealed in this look back at how the MGM Special Effect magicians worked their magic to make the unbelievable, believable, for WIZARD OF OZ (1939). Is there a hidden “OZ” in the Gale Farmhouse? How do you train 300 miniature monkeys to fly? How did The Wicked Witch of the West conjure up images in her magic crystal ball?
