‘The Wizard of Oz’ gets thumbs up in 3D The reviews of “The Wizard of Oz.” now in 3D and digitally cleaned-up, are nothing short of stunning. Garland’s wise-beyond-her-years crooning, full of longing in “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”; Frank Morgan’s tour de force supporting work (five different roles) as Professor Marvel, the Wizard and others; Bolger’s rubber-legged genius — the virtues of this masterpiece are as obvious as ever. The improved texture was reason enough to convert this to 3D. The original sepia-toned opening and closing are intact and the Wicked Witch’s gnarled green hands seem to poke through the screen. The witch-arrivals, in clouds of red smoke, are still primitive (you can see the trap door), and the whole thing looks and sounds like a product of its era. But with “The Wizard of Oz,” the passing of the years merely adds to its charm.
