The Wiz 1978 Trailer Sidney Lumet

Probably, this musical worries the person who looked at "Dreamgirls".
It is the work with which Motown Productions dealt.
Although there was a scene of making a screen version of Cleopatra VII by "Dreamgirls", in fact, it was this movie.
In order not to damage Lumet, it substituted for Cleopatra secretly.
For the African American who lived the 70s, The Wiz is an important work.

-Japanese-Dreamgirlsを観た人は、このミュージカルが気になるでしょう。Motown Productionsが手掛けた作品だからです。「Dreamgirls」でクレオパトラ(Cleopatra VII)を映画化するというシーンがありますが、実はこの映画のことだったんです。Lumetを傷つけないために、Cleopatraにすり替えたわけです。
70年代を生きたアフリカ系アメリカ人にとって、The Wizは大切な作品なのです。
