   A lot?
   
   I dunno, but I can tell you that in the original story, her ruby slippers are actually silver, but they decided to make them red - ruby colored because the silver shoes didn't translate well on screen.
   
   Oh, and that the tinman was deathly allergic to his makeup.

   Allergies to the makeup is why Buddy Ebsen (Jedd Clampet of the Beverly Hillbillies) couldn't play the part.

   I have a blog on movie trivia. I focused so far really on cast trivia and trivia about the movie plots themselves. I suppose I can go into a lot more areas. I have not been working on it lately.
