The Wiz, dir. Sidney Lumet, 1978

It's the 45th anniversary of the iconic Sidney Lumet-directed film, The Wiz.

The cast. The costumes. The sequences. The set. The soundtrack. 🤌🏽

This is good news. So take it away, Evillene 🎤:

The Wiz / Mabel King as Evillene (the Wicked Witch of the West)

The amount of detail in this costume is phenomenal. Every bit of the surface is covered with ornamentation of one sort or another. But somehow, despite the bright colors, it doesn't look cheery at all--quite the opposite, in fact. It seems at once junky and sinister, like a trash heap full of broken jewelry that has come to life.

Another detail that amuses me is that Evillene is wearing three crowns at once--one on the top of her head, and one over each ear.

Just watched the film Don't Play Us Cheap (1972), an intriguing low-budget movie musical created by all around auteur artist Melvin Van Peebles, and I absolutely loved it! An intimate urban fantasy morality play, uplifting but still intelligent, the word I'd use to describe the film is "charismatic" because the love just oozed out of the screen.

I couldn't stop smiling the whole time, and the songs were fantastic!

It seems to be pretty obscure (it received an extremely limited release and even in my deepest theatre days I never heard the Broadway run mentioned) but the entire thing is on YouTube and I think people would really enjoy it.

Every good series has...

...An awkward protagonist...

...A goofy goober...

...A wily elder...

...And whatever this is supposed to be.
