Wizard of Oz - Deleted audio: "Over The Rainbow" reprise (1 of 3)

Judy Garland sang this reprise live on set, before director Richard Thorpe was replaced by Victor Fleming and the song was cut. Margaret Hamilton is the witch, of course! "Hail! Hail! The Witch is Dead!" follows, and I've also included an alternate music tag for the end title.

[@106th]

I feel like they should have left this in the scene... hearing Judy sing it through tears is very moving and really gives you the feeling of the character being both scared and sad/missing home and her family... I maybe got a little emotional watching this recreation of the scene with it.

[@juliannasukel7578]

I love how beautiful this is, but at the same time, I understand why they deleted it because it's just depressing and honestly almost makes me cry. Judy really knew how to get at your heart, didn't she?

[@MaskedMan66]

She sure did.

[@hotwax9376]

I wish they'd kept it in, just for that reason. Maybe someday someone will find one of the test screenings in good condition, though that's doubtful given how much nitrate degrades over time. Such a shame. :(

[@MaskedMan66]

+HotWax93 CGI is at a point now where you could have a body double for Judy play out the scene on a recreation of the set, then create a MoCap image of Judy over the performer. The only thing is that it would probably be very expensive. The reprise is used in stage productions of the MGM musical.

Even as a kid, I always instinctively expected a reprise of "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead" right around this point in the movie, and have long wondered whether it ever occurred to the makers of the film that one might be a good idea. Good to know it was indeed once a part of the movie. I personally love how emotional this scene it was and wish it was included.

[@TheScottAllenKennedy]

I agree, I wish they have left the Oz reprise right before they present the broom to the Wizard. This movie is sheer perfection, but I always felt the cut from the castle and their near death to standing in front of the Wizard for a second time seemed to blunt. It felt like we needed to come down from nearly seeing Dorothy and friends murdered in cold blood to seeing the Wizard again and I think a reprise of the song with entire Oz singing would have been a great transition - besides, it does look like it would have been a stunningly beautiful spectacle of a scene!

[@princesspeachfan100]

For some weird reason when I was a little girl, every time Judy Garland as Dorothy was in the castle scene crying I used to cry when she did every time that one scene happened in the movie when I watched it a billion times. I don’t know why I always cried and still cry at that scene, but I think it’s because her acting was so heartbreaking to hear her cry, it can make you emotional, just like today I still get emotional watching that scene. I read somewhere too she was crying in this take because she was thinking about her father that died four years earlier, which makes the scene even more emotional and sadder when you think about it. :( Poor Judy :( Everytime that scene happened I just wanted to jump through my TV screen to give her a hug. XD But I know it’s only a movie. XD One time I actually did hug my TV screen when she was crying in that scene talking to the TV saying “It’s okay Judy don’t cry”. XD But being a HUGE Judy Garland fan, she can make you cry, make you laugh, and make you want to dance when she did. :) I love her! =) R.I.P. Judy

Those several people are wrong. There is absolutely no way this scene ever aired, as it was cut before the film's release. The footage was lost in the famous MGM vault fire of 1965. Also, this scene was only shot once, before George Cukor changed Judy's hair from blonde to brown. So if the footage was ever found and re-inserted, her hair would suddenly become blonde!

[@MaskedMan66]

[@MaskedMan66]

@liam vlogs Exactly who found it, when did they find it, and how do you know? Give us some sources. And by the way, the term is "nowadays." Judy only wore a blonde wig during the time Thorpe was directing, plus "baby doll" make-up and some putty which slightly altered the shape of the bridge of her nose. After firing Thorpe, Mervyn LeRoy told make-up to use Judy's own hair color (even though Dorothy is blonde in the books) and to give her a more natural complexion.

I hate the way the writers made Dorothy Gale a damsel in distress! Because the author L Frank Baum was a feminist! He would have wanted Dorothy strong willed smart and brave!

That's one of the reasons why they cut it

[@vincentanuneko4269]

Janaka no such excuses. they also cut out all the dark elements from the book like the tin woodsman backstory among other things.

[@NuisanceMan]

There's plenty of "dark elements" in the movie.

[@vincentanuneko4269]

But not enough to make it closer to the Oz books. Return to Oz was better because it captured the darkness of the Oz books.

Dorothy is not a damsel in distress. For one, Dorothy was literally a child. It's understandable for her to get caught up in situations like the Witch's castle. If she was a damsel, she wouldn't have even gone to the Witch's castle at all. Plus, in the end, she's the one who saved all of the guys. She is the one who picked Scarecrow up and showed him that he was smart all along, and showed the Tin Man that he had a heart, and that the Lion was brave. She's really the savior of the story. The reprise is simply her feeling emotions.
