The highly-acclaimed 1939 musical “The Wizard of Oz” will be in theaters for one high-definition showing in celebration of the 70th anniversary of its release.

The movie, which runs just over 100 minutes, will include a special introduction by Robert Osborne, film historian and host of Turner Classic Movies, and will be followed by “To Oz! The Making of a Classic” that shows how the movie went from book to movie screen. It includes archival interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and musical outtakes.

Also featured will be an exclusive clip of the Scarecrow, played by Ray Bolger, dancing in high definition for the very first time.

“The Wizard of Oz” won two Academy Awards in 1939 — Best Song (“Over the Rainbow”) and Best Original Score — plus the special Outstanding Juvenile Performance for Judy Garland’s performance as Dorothy.

The showing, part of a nationwide one-time release, is presented by NCM Fathom, Warner Home Video and Turner Classic Movies. It will be the exact aspect ratio as the original 1939 prints.
