Wizard of Oz Original 1939 Over The Rainbow Sheet Music
When Louie B. Mayer, head of MGM, saw the completed "Wizard of Oz" (1939) for the first time in his private screening room, he only has one suggestion once the lights went up. He turned to the producers and his executives and said: "Nice film, but get rid of that 'Rainbow' song, it's a dud and slows up the plot." Of course more sensible minds prevailed, including an usually un-protesting Judy Garland herself. Though some songs and a production number was indeed cut , thankfully not the one that has become one of the most beloved movie themes in Cinema history! This is an extremely rare original 1939 sheet music of "Over The Rainbow" from the Leo Feist Company. It features the full cast (with photos) on the front, along with the famous illustrations. The Harburg and Arlen masterpiece is spread out in four pages inside. The cover itself is in mint condition, and the sheet music inside also is in good condition, showing normal signs of aged patina. A true WOZ collectable!
