Trivia
- In L. Frank Baum's original novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900), on which the film is loosely based upon, Dorothy wears Silver Shoes. However, the color of the shoes was changed to red in order to take full advantage of the new Technicolor film process being used in big-budget Hollywood films of that era.
