The Wizard of Oz- Over The Rainbow (reprise)

This is a re-upload from my old Channel

I guess even the cameramen and crew watching this scene, were all crying. Judy is and always will be, the greatest

[@myfunnyvalentine9940]

They did.

[@genewebb8396]

this is the closest we will ever see what the original footage would have looked like when judy sang a reprise of over the rainbos. not sure why they cut it out and where is the footage? it may be lost forever

@@genewebb8396 That..actually wasn't what he was saying.. when he said "two words" it meant he was shortly summing up the reasoning why it had to be omitted from the film. Time Constraints.

[@michaelbarlow6610]

They never should have deleted the footage of Judy Garland singing the heartbreakingly sad reprise of "Over The Rainbow" from the scene in the Wicked Witch of the West's castle. Although it is understandable that the producer and director of the film felt that that segment of the scene would be too upsetting to children watching the movie, that scene should have been left intact because it demonstrates Judy Garland's phenomenal acting ability.

[@genewebb8396]

and to think they didnt want her to sing this song period. it was undignified for her to sing such a song in a barmyard and that it slows the picture down. so glad they kept this in which made it a movie classic monent

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

As far as being too upsetting for the children to see and hear, the wicked witch was far more upsetting and also frightening to most of the children who saw the movie. My 10-year-old cousin would run out of the room whenever the witch came on. It would be very human and natural for the little children to watch and relate to Judy when she was crying and missing home and frightened. They would have gotten even more personally involved with Dorothy's character and the story (and the movie) Judy Garland would have been recognized very early on of her enormous acting talents and would have become an even greater star then instead of later! 😱🤔🤗😇💞♥️

[@p.z.arnott2329]

Also, it comes full circles on Dorothy's development. She at the beginning, want to escape when no one, especially Aunt Em, listens to her problems, to the point of escaping to a whole new place. But here, the song takes a whole new meaning of going over the rainbow back home

[@joshygoldiem_j2799]

At sixteen as well! Real shame she got abused, but the fact that she carried on acting is truly admirable.

[@patalb4374]

Nah they just didn’t know what the heck they were doing, they even almost axed when she first sang it at the beginning

[@linnycrocus6023]

In an era where acting in movies in an over the top Transantlantic accent type way Judy really maintained a lot of realness in her acting. I feel those tears every time.

[@longgrayline8055]

The greatest actress/performer of all time in the greatest movie of all time. She commands a scene like no other.

[@michaelbarlow6610]

@ Long Gray Line. No question whatsoever that Judy Garland was the greatest female entertainer of all-time (with honorable mention of Barbra Streisand as the second greatest female entertainer of all-time). As far as the greatest male entertainer of all-time , that distinction goes to Al Jolson.

[@Ella_bellacoconut]

Imo I think it’s Anne Hathaway. Like have y’all seen her I dreamed a dream performance. It was stunning. But also love Judy

[@klassicalmuzik]

“some day I’ll wake and rub my eyes and in that land beyond the skies you’ll find me” Could that “land beyond the skys” she was talking about be Heaven?

[@user36able]

it absolutely is. This song is about her accepting that she's about to die. She's lost her home, her companions, and Toto, her truest friend. There's no point any more.

[@izmochild9412]

This feels so realistic Judy Garland is great at fake crying but hearing Judy heartbreakingly singing that just makes me tear up

[@faithmuetze3309]

That had her sing it while she was crying

[@aspieangel1988]

It’s heartbreaking because she was actually abused by her mother 😢

[@akend4426]

According to TV Tropes, Judy Garland’s performance of the reprise (which was recorded live on set) had the cast and crew in tears. It’s easy to se why. She never deserved to go through all the shit she dealt with during production, or all the issues she had later in life…

[@lisamcdonald1014]

She was put on a strict diet of chicken soup, black coffee, and forced to smoke 80 cigarettes a day

[@SpongeDan]

@@lisamcdonald1014 That is just a rumor, so it never happened.

[@SamuraiGirl02]

@@SpongeDan No, Judy Garland was placed on a strict diet by the MGM producers during her tenure with them. There was a constant struggle between her and them on when to eat, what to eat, and how much she could eat. She was often called fat, which as you can tell is completely untrue. She was also forced to take a lot of pills in order to keep up her energy to film movie after movie. That, along with the abuse by both producers and her mother, led to her developing a drug addiction that led to her life ending too soon.

[@broadwaymike92]

Agreed. MGM mistreated her badly!!! Very Toxic work environment. Judy gave the most spectacular performances. Yes, that was done LIVE. So emotional.....When Judy started doing her concerts, she always would get emotional singing OVER THE RAINBOW live every time. Tons of audio recordings where she would let it all out especially towards the end.

[@fynnthefox9078]

No. Acting. Required.

[@joshygoldiem_j2799]

Too emotionally intense? I understand their thinking at the time that the movie was supposed to be a bright and colourful fairytale, but imagine if this was released today, this is too powerful to leave out!

[@charles1440]

To the one who created this???? Thank you,,, It is likely the closest we will get to being able to experience this precious heartbreaking scene. My hats off to you!!!

[@xtzrxiex6599]

*Her last cry at **2:31** sounded a lot she was stuttering the word “Help.” Poor girl...

[@kitty3613]

I heard that.. it’s so sad..

[@JasonLee1653]

I wish they didn't take this part off!

[@johnmcgourn9667]

so sad

[@HavenKnight93]

There is reasons why MGM cut this, this would make this scene very difficult and heartbreaking for children. Especially when dorothy cries during the song and then cries help at the end. I know the crying help is in the movie definitely but the crying Over the Rainbow is definitely something for a Try Not to Cry Challenge in itself.

[@fynnthefox9078]

It's even sadder when you know her life story and what she was going through at the time.

[@ijustgottahotdog]

Apparently this take was just thought to be too sad. So Fleming deleted it :(

[@anangel705]

Wish this wasn't cut. I see why as the director thought kids would find it too sad but still....

Bet Margaret Hamilton was silently crying while Judy was singing.

Margaret had the most famous crackle in history.

Heartbreaking Emotional Scene 😭

[@hobbitfan8686]

1:09 After the “Someday, I’ll wake and rub my eyes, and then that land beyond the skies, you’ll find me.” lyric, the second lyric that wasn’t sung in this was, “I’ll be a laughing daffodil and leave the silly cares that fill my mind behind me.”

[@thekiss2083]

I think they were right to cut this. The witch's castle sequence was harrowing enough for us as kids. Judy's raw performance here would have been too much 😢

[@leeleehenry]

If Margaret had been there she would have probably rushed over and hugged her whether the camera was rolling or not.😊😊

[@elizabethramirezsierra3700]

I understand why this scene was cut from the final film because the crew decided to shorten the time

[@dxx7570]

Changing the the color of the crystal ball from the original is manipulative and blatantly ego driven. Is the ‘talent’ that changed it happy?? There’s a Huge difference in film restoration and ‘refurbished’. It’s the same exact thing as adding your own face to a Michael Angelo painting.
