Best Answer

No, the line "Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain" is not in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the statement is found in the beloved 1939 film version but not the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." It is made by the Wizard when Toto pulls aside the curtain hiding the humbug magician from his visitors. It is said in a last-ditch effort to keep Dorothy, Toto and their three friends from connecting a little old man with a frightening, disembodied voice.

There is no place like home! Or if you were refering to the wizard himself, "The man behind the curtain", because he was really just a man and not a wizard. There was nothing any more special about him than anyone else. Great movie!

What does Dorothy wear in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

The movie gives the iconic image of Dorothy in her blue-and-white gingham dress and sparkling ruby slippers. In the book, however, Dorothy changes clothes several times. Her first outfit isn't described, but she changes into the gingham dress shortly after she lands in Oz, then puts on a green dress in the Emerald City that becomes white when she leaves (because it was never really green. Everyone wore green tinted glasses that made it look green). And her magic shoes are silver. They were changed to red in the movie to look better in Technicolor.
