12 Amazing Films The Critics Hated
7. The Wizard of Oz
The New Yorker characterised the Wizard of Oz less than favourably; ““I sat cringing before M-G-M’s Technicolor production of The Wizard of Oz, which displays no trace of imagination, good taste, or ingenuity… I don’t like the Singer Midgets under any circumstances, but I found them especially bothersome in Technicolor… I say it’s a stinkeroo.” Well, stinkeroo to you too, as the film’s now become a stone-cold classic and is regarded as one of the forerunners of technicolour cinema and musical film.
