Plot

Dorothy, a shy schoolteacher, is swept to a magical city and goes on a quest to return home.

Sinekatalog’s take

Sidney Lumet's all-Black musical reimagining of Oz is visually striking but heavy, with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, and Quincy Jones music.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
