This original 1925 version of The Wizard of OZ is slightly different than the MGM version starring Judy Garland, but it is every bit as entertaining.In this film which was adapted from L. Frank Baum's classic story, silent film legend Larry Semon is hilarious as the Scarecrow and Oliver Hardy (Laurel & Hardy) is wonderful as the Tin Woodsman.ON her 18th birthday, Dorothy finds out that she is the rightful heir to the throne in the Kingdom of OZ and she must travel there to claim her throne.With the help of the Wizard, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy must overcome the wicked ruler of OZ who is doing all he can to keep her from the throne.As in all of Baum's classic stories, good triumphs over evil!               Critic's Reviews James Berardinelli Reelviews Read Review George Perry BBC Read Review Christopher Null FilmCritic.com Read Review
