THE WIZARD OF OOZE
This was the second full-length feature, and probably one of the worse, as
far as meeting the expectations of what it was envisioned to be. The
second film was was to be a triumph, a musical spectatular with clever
songs and improved cinematography. However, while amusing, the story is a
loose parody of the original film. In fact, the second half was never
filmed and the ending was pieced together. Scheduling problems and
cancellations by the leading actress also caused the production to have
further difficulties and a rushed ending. It was started in Fall 1990
and re-continued in Spring 1991, which by that time the cast was difficult
to
reassemble. In the interim of winter, "A Business Carol" was produced,
which went on to be produced as a play and again as a film. This only
proves that some work, some don't.
