Silver Slippers : Ruby Slippers This particular video is a statement or comment on MGM changing the slippers from silver in the original books by L Frank Baum to the infamous Ruby pair that we know today, this was because red looked more dazzling in technicolour than silver. There had been no reason or acknowladgement of this within the story or any of its adaptations until Gregory Maguire's 'Wicked: The Life And Times Of The Wicked Witch Of The West', in 1995. 56 years after they changed them! *Screened as part of River Aire Ten Minute Film Festival 2013* |
