Director Sidney Lumet's dazzlingly inventive adaptation of the hit Broadway musical transplants L. Frank Baum's fantastical world from somewhere over the rainbow to somewhere over the Brooklyn Bridge. Diana Ross, as Dorothy, heads up the all Black cast featuring Michael Jackson, as The Scarecrow, Nipsey Russell as The Tin Man, Ted Ross as The Lion and Richard Pryor as The Wiz.
1978, dir. Sidney Lumet, 134 min.
