Starring Judy Garland as Dorothy, this beloved Technicolor family musical, based on L. Frank Baum's timeless book, continues to captivate audiences.
Renowned critic Roger Ebert once remarked, "It has a wonderful surface of comedy and music, special effects and excitement, but we still watch it decades later because its underlying story penetrates straight to the deepest insecurities of childhood, stirs them and then reassures them."
With two Oscars for its music and a prestigious Palme d'Or nomination at Cannes 1939, The Wizard of Oz remains a cinematic gem cherished by generations.
Tickets are available now from Hebden Bridge Picture House.
