The very first film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz was actually a silent, black-and-white film released in 1925. However, the 1939 MGM movie is more famous. If you look closely at the credits, you can see that the movie was filmed using Technicolor film technology. Because this was more expensive than black and white film, color film was not used widely until a few decades later. It simply was not economical to produce every film in color.
