Wizard of Oz: Dorothy’s Hair Length Mystery

“The Wizard of Oz” is a classic film filled with enchanting moments but also riddled with mistakes. One of the most noticeable is the changing length of Dorothy’s hair. In one scene, it’s medium length; then, suddenly, it’s incredibly long in the next shot. Did they think we wouldn’t notice?

This inconsistency is commonly due to non-sequential filming and the need for reshoots. Today, though, actors are usually required to maintain the same hair length throughout filming to avoid such continuity errors. Despite this, Dorothy’s magical journey remains a beloved cinematic treasure, with its quirks adding to its charm for fans.
