Production of this picture had to be one of the biggest shitshows ever.
>Lead actress is abused mentally/physically by the cast/production crew
>actors have to work 15 hours a day, in 100 degrees (fahrenheit) heat because of all the lamps on set
>Rampant use of cocaine/amphetamine pills
>Notoriously drunk screenwriters
>Usage of toxic materials like lead face paint or asbestos
>released literals days before German tanks steamrolled across Europe, so no one gave a shit about it, so all that sacrifice by actors/staff was ultimately in vain.
30's Hollywood was nightmare fuel.

Imagine chasing 15 year old Julie Garland around your office desk and when she tries to leave, you push the special button you had installed under your desk that automatically locks your office door.
*Judy, whoops
Grim.
Kino film.
>>Lead actress is abused mentally/physically by the cast/production crew
apparently it was no worse than what happened on other productions, which is both messed up and hilarious
>100 degrees (fahrenheit)
Thanks for clarifying that.
For a moment, I had a mental image of the lollipop guild screaming in terror as their blood boiled in their veins....
>midge
Beat me to it, with more color I might add.
Funny, I assumed it was Kelvin, so I was thinking of the Tin Man freezing and being shattered into a million pieces like the T-1000.
post pic of the ack on the tree in the back that got cut from the tape on the home release rack.
>the ack on the tree
That was just an urban legend. It turned out that it was just actually a shadow cast by a large crane
OK shlomo
They're all dead, OP. Why cry about it.
>>Lead actress is abused mentally/physically by the cast/production crew

use of cocaine/amphetamine pills
drunk screenwriters
these were all pretty much standard up through the last decade
No.
People literally died during the production of Metropolis.
Thousands of people have died making movies, anon.
Stories? I bet somebody drowned, those scenes looked dangerous to film
>>Lead actress is abused mentally/physically by the cast/production crew
That was confirmed 100% bullshit as told by the notorious "tall tale teller" Judy "Buzz" Garland.
use of cocaine/amphetamine pills
Yeah but it was legal back then.
of toxic materials like lead face paint or asbestos
They didn't know. Imagine what we don't know now.
I still don't know that rape is wrong.
I’m waiting for febreeze to turn out to be carcinogenic. Kinda like when Roundup killed all those Mexican landscapers.
2 more generations bro
use of cocaine/amphetamine pills
>Yeah but it was legal back then.

>They didn't know. Imagine what we don't know now.
Cocaine was banned in the 1910s and that makeup was banned in the 20s.
>Cocaine was banned in the 1910s and that makeup was banned in the 20s.
Which means it was still legal. Anon, authorities have been dragging their feet since forever.
Did you know that menthol cigarettes have been federally banned for several years now?
People can still buy them legally even though they're illegal because election reasons.
You are a fricking moron
>Notoriously drunk screenwriters
They should try that again. We'd probably get better films.
Mk ultra film
I don't think its sacrifice was in vain almost every decent director always pays tribute to it, Lynch does so obsessively.
Well I mean that it felt that way back then. The movie only really came back after it was shown on TV on November 3, 1956.
Interesting.
I never even seen it but all the deeper movies that I've analyzed had themes referencing it. Again Lynch has it all over the place, particularly in this movie:
Best movie to watch if you're new to him (writing for everyone reading).
An unfathomably dark, evil aura permeates every aspect of this film. In addition to what you stated, Wizard of Oz became a dog whistle for homosexuals back then. Saying you were a "friend of Dorothy" was a coded way to say you were gay. Very creepy and dark shit.
>Saying you were a "friend of Dorothy" was a coded way to say you were gay
Fuark, I didn't even know that. This is some weird shit.
>so no one gave a shit about it, so all that sacrifice by actors/staff was ultimately in vain
Bullshit, Wizard of Oz is one of the most beloved films of all time.
Not OP, but the film didn't do well in its initial release. The re-releases two decades later is what old folks remembered and put on TV for everyone to watch in the 70s, 80s, and some of the 90s.
Also, the premiere version of film is lost with just parts of the lost footage appearing for a couple of seconds in the trailer.
OP is a giant homosexual. American audiences didn't give a frick about a European country being invaded just like you continue to watch your goyslop if Ukraine is invaded.
Gone With The Wind was an even bigger shit show and was directed by the same director back to back! And they are both masterpieces Victor Fleming is severely underrated. 1939 was the greatest and craziest year in cinema history.
its kino that the director hated israelites and england
