Runtime

Synopsis

A featurette about *The Wizard of Oz* (1939) is a short film or documentary that provides behind-the-scenes information, historical context, or commentary about the production, cast, or legacy of the classic motion picture. These featurettes are often included as bonus material in DVD, Blu-ray, or digital releases of the film. *The Wizard of Oz*, directed by Victor Fleming and produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), is widely regarded as one of the most influential and beloved films in cinematic history. It stars Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale, and features a cast that includes Frank Langella, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr, and Margaret Hamilton. The film's use of Technicolor, its memorable score, and its enduring cultural impact have made it a subject of continued interest in film scholarship and popular media.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
