1、如今的钢筋铁骨,当年也是恋恋情深《绿野仙踪》竟然是那么多人小时候的故事。当时只是以为,这世上有无数的书,我只是恰巧看到其中一本。桃乐丝想回家。狮子没有勇气,稻草人没有脑子,而最坚硬的铁皮人,他感慨他没有心。勇气只不过是一点药水,脑子是填进去一些尖锐的东西……心要用什么......
2、二十世纪三〇年代,三大形式的歌舞片成鼎足之势。它们分别是,派拉蒙的小歌剧传统歌舞剧,雷电华的罗曼蒂克歌舞片以及华纳兄弟的“后台”演出故事歌舞片。似乎,没米高梅什么事。1939年年底,《绿野仙踪》横空出世。谁想,这部成本为277.7万美元的电影,最终在北美拿下了1671万美元的票房佳绩。随后几年,米高梅接连推出制作豪华的工艺彩色歌舞片。逐步,正为了歌舞片的霸者。女主角碧昂帕克更是闪光。
