Although most people think the WIZ of OZ was the first color film, it was not, BUT it was the first BIG marketed-push film. I just wonder how many girls at the time, was desiring to have the "ruby red sparkly shoes?!!" As late a 2 years ago, parents could buy glittery red shoes during the Thanksgiving-Christmas shopping season! And it goes on. Ugh. If we knew when we were kids, what we know now..

. (My parents never got them for me when I was in single digits, but I don't remember asking either. They would basically tell us, "You get what you get and don't throw a fit!" Bless them!)

What I am talking about like you I think was verified by the insider a long time ago. My mama did not buy them.

. Did you know the original shoes were silver ? Not red ...
