American musical fantasy film The Wizard of Oz was released in 1939 and was made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The Wizard of Oz was considered a significant success because of its use of Technicolor, imaginative storytelling, musical soundtrack, and endearing characters. According to the United States, the film was reintroduced to the public with its 1956 CBS television broadcast premiere. According to the Library of Congress, it is the most-watched movie in cinema history. The lead role of Dorothy Gale, a young farm girl from Kansas who dreams of a place "somewhere over the rainbow," is played by Judy Garland in this timeless musical fantasy. As a tornado carries Toto, Dorothy, and her family's home to a dazzling and wonderful world, unlike anything she has ever seen, her dream of leaving Kansas comes true. With the aid of a brainless scarecrow, a heartless tin man, a cowardly lion, and some magical ruby slippers, Dorothy travels down a yellow brick road to the Emerald City to ask the all-knowing Wizard of Oz for assistance in returning to her home. Movie posters at this time embraced the emerging art deco style, which valued geometric designs and vivid colors, along with the rest of the country. Contrary to what was anticipated, the Great Depression increased the number of individuals pursuing a means of escape at the movies. At this time, there was a rising trend for graphics that emphasized the faces of the film's lead characters rather than scenery, and in designs, there was a shift towards bolder typography.
