Happy 80th birthday, “The Wizard of Oz” – according to the Library of Congress, the most viewed movie of all time. Herbert Stothart wrote the original underscore. The songs by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg are deservedly immortal. All three were honored with Academy Awards. “Over the Rainbow” was the recipient of an Oscar for the Best Original Song of 1939. Judy Garland was also recognized with a special “juvenile” Oscar for her work on “Oz” and “Babes in Arms.” Undoubtedly there would have been more had the film not opened the same year as “Gone with the Wind.”
