Apple publishes no 3D flag, so this row says the film is sold here, not that the 3D version is.

How the 3D was made

The thinnest part of the record

How a film reached the screen in stereo is the part of this record that matters most, and it is the part that is thinnest. What is missing keeps its row rather than being dropped, so you can see where the record stops.

Provenance
Converted Shot in stereo, converted afterwards, or a mix of the two.

We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!

Young Dorothy finds herself in a magical world where she makes friends with a lion, a scarecrow and a tin man as they make their way along the yellow brick road to talk with the Wizard and ask for the things they miss most in their lives. The Wicked Witch of the West is the only thing that could stop them.
