[@12classics39]

Ray Bolger’s Scarecrow costume was chemically treated to repel fire for this scene. Despite this, Margaret Hamilton was still absolutely terrified that she’d hurt him with that torch, and although director Victor Fleming told her to “just light him as if he were a cigarette,” it took five takes for her to stay in character (i.e., act sinister rather than tense and worried) while setting Bolger’s costume ablaze. According to publicity, when they finally completed the shot successfully, Hamilton fainted.

[@MaskedMan66]

No, he didn't. All he needed was an asbestos sleeve under the left sleeve of his jacket.

[@LVA22-y1m]

Margaret Hamilton was a caring, intelligent woman! She herself was seriously burned during filming. Loved her appearance with Mr. Rogers, later in her life, talking about fear and showing her witch's costume.

She’s honestly only in the book for a very brief period

[@BlendedMozart]

Here’s how they made her melt: They put Margaret Hamilton on a small elevator platform that dropped below the soundstage. They tacked the hem of her witch’s dress around the outside of the elevator so it would stay up. Then the air rushing up the elevator shaft puffed up her skirt. Also, under the skirt, they put dry ice for the steam effect. And then the finishing touch was they put a bigger witch’s hat on her head when she was melting so it would look like her face was smaller.

[@borood1188]

Wicked Witch of the West is the greatest cinematic villain ever. She was the original, everyone after her was a copy of what she did. The actress was iconic.

[@johnmanno2052]

My reading of this scene has been that because Dorothy was wearing the ruby slippers, her throwing the water on the witch had that effect. That was why there was a bucket of water just lying around. In the hands of just anyone else, it wouldn't have hurt her. Moreover, Dorothy's motivation was to save someone else, not destruction, which was the key factor in the destruction of the witch. Perhaps I've been overthinking this, but in my opinion, that's what gives the scene its power

[@mustlovebooknerd]

You've def been overthinking it. In the book, the witch is described as being so evil that she dried up a long time ago and she's afraid of water. She keeps Dorothy as a servant in her castle and tries to make her take off the shoes. She is afraid to go near Dorothy when she takes the shoes off to bathe, in case she gets splashed, and she makes Dorothy clean the floors, which is what she's doing when the witch trips her and knocks one of her shoes off. Dorothy gets so upset at the witch for tripping her that she throws the mop water on her and that's how she dies. Nobody comes to save Dorothy in the books - she saves herself every time. And then she goes and saves her friends too (the Scarecrow was still picked to pieces like in the movie, the Tin Woodsman was battered on some rocks, and the Lion was yoked up as a beast of burden).

[@johnmanno2052]

@@mustlovebooknerd Lol. Hello fellow overthinker! I've actually read the books, decades ago when I was a kid, and I clearly remember the mop water incident you referenced. I've also seen the silent film (or what's left of it). Everything you say about the book is true, but this iteration of the "Oz mythos(?)" is so different from all that which came before it, that I see it as almost a unique stand-alone work, which is why I interpret it as I do. In fact, I also clearly remember being disappointed in the Oz books, since they weren't like the MGM film, which apparently deeply impressed itself on my psyche.

DON'T THROW THAT WATER! 🌊 0:43

[@mikesmemoriesfromthepast89]

But it was too late. Dorothy threw the water at Scarecrow's arm and right at the Wicked Witch.

[@peterheimsoth159]

@@mikesmemoriesfromthepast89 No, that's what the Wicked Witch said at that time stamp.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU CURSED BRAT LOOK WHAT YOU DONE!!!!!!!!!

[@thekiss2083]

I never realized the Witch yelled that at the last second until I read about it on Wikipedia just now. I wonder if they dubbed that line in later...

[@peterheimsoth159]

@@thekiss2083 No, it was in the script, so Miss Hamilton said it there on the set.

[@gilangsetyawibawa185]

Wicked Part 2 will make us feel sorry for the Wicked Witch of the West--and cry... Also, the Scarecrow is actually helping her in secret with the burning because he is Elphaba's love interest Prince Fiyero (spoiler alert).

[@PurpleTheTapricorn915]

It was all planned 🤭

[@evacody1249]

No he is not. Wicked has nothing to do with this film or Frank Baums books. Stop trying to shoe horn it in as canon.

No, Wicked is not canon to the original books

She went insane 😂 this is why Maggie Hamilton is the 3rd best character villian in movie history

I love the Hair coming out of the fake wart on her chin. This film was so ahead of its time. Brilliance 🎉

I only just now realized, water is both the Wicked Witch and Tinman's weakness.

True, but Nick's got his oil can, so he'll be fine.

@@SillyCreatureSally 😊.I know. And what's really cool is that the Winkies thought so highly of Nick that they wanted him to be their Emperor. And of course dear beloved Nick Chopper took them up on their offer. Talk about moving up in the world. Woodcutter to Emperor.👑🟪

Honestly a great use of trapdoors with her, here and when she first showed up.

[@peterheimsoth159]

Elevators, in fact.

[@kushpaladin300]

lol i was scared of the witch when i was a kid

[@Autistic_Gallant-92.]

You should’ve seen the Witch from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Now she was EVEN scary.

[@cannondaleman1]

I've always wondered... if she melts with water, does that mean that she doesn't need to drink water?

[@williammeyer2584]

Nah, I guess not. She could probably drink something that doesn’t contain water, like milk

[@cannondaleman1]

@@williammeyer2584 LOL. Very possible.

[@PrinceCharming-t6n]

❓😶

[@mustlovebooknerd]

In the book, it's sad she's so evil that she dried up a long time ago. She's a witch, so no she doesn't have the same basic needs as a human.

[@joanwood9480]

[@Unpopularopinion2024]

The witch deserves our deepest apology. Her essence was twisted, her wisdom condemned, and her name tarnished by a system that feared her power. She was not the villain they made her out to be but a guardian of ancient truths and a beacon of defiance against unjust authority.

[@jucamovi1992]

This is not Wicked, this is close to the original books and the witch is 100 % Evil.

[@Demetri450]

That's all it took was water! Glenda could have made it rain!

Dorothy wouldn't have melted her if she hadn't set Scarecrow on fire. It's the witch's own fault.
