How did churches and the Legion of Decency react to 'The Wizard of Oz' in l939?

Answer 1

Witchcraft, violence, and absence of spirituality might have been concerns of churches and the Legion of Decency in regard to the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. The Legion of Decency was formed five years previously, in 1934, to stop tendencies that the Roman Catholic Church saw as immoral and indecent within the Hollywood film industry. For example, the Legion supported the boycott of films that focused on Alcoholism, sex, and/or violence.
