ARRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!! Where do you people dream this stuff up!???

If you had seen The Wizard of Oz ... in colour ... in a movie theatre,
then you would know that the colour was NOT tinted in.  The horse of a
different colour was done simply by dying a horse different colours.

Trivia question... do you know how the soundtrack was actually played
in the first showings?
