Director Sidney Lumet has created what amounts to a love letter to the city of New York, which he equates with Oz.

The Wiz can't quite get it together. Nonetheless, this trip up the yellow-brick road has something to please almost everyone.

It's good that the Scarecrow is the first traveling companion she meets; Michael Jackson fills the role with humor and warmth.

Taken on its own terms it gets better as it goes along, and winds up generating a mostly happy experience for those members of the audience who will take its lead and "ease on down" the road.

If you can take it just as an occasion for the exercise of some real talents, a good time can be had much of the time.

Sidney Lumet's lack of film imagination makes him fail in a genre as imaginative as the musical... The movie completely loses its undeniable appeal. [Full Review in Spanish]

...Real, old-fashioned production numbers....Children and Diana Ross fans will probably think every penny was well spent.
