The Wiz
Dorothy is an African-American nursery teacher who will leave a big family dinner day to search for her dog during a major blizzard in New York City. Perhaps the fate will be against Dorothy when he is swept away by a typhoon. The same teacher found herself miraculously moved to a fictional land called Oz. Dorothy needs to go home again and there is no other way than a wizard named Wiz who will help her reach Manhattan again..

A total misfire; Ross was too old for Dorothy. Badly dated, doesn't hold up at all.

Flat-footed screen version of a jubilant show; a miscast mess, sad to say

Sidney Lumet's all-black musical, starring Diana Ross, is a failed effort to transfer the setting of the Judy Graland musical to contempo Manhattan.

A celebration of personhood with plenty of rousing rock-and-soul-and gospel music.

Well, it's nice to see the child-voiced Michael Jackson with a bulbous brown nose in this black American retake of The Wizard Of Oz
