Hanging midget scene
Here’s the original scene from "The Wizard of Oz" showing the munchkin that committed suicide on-screen by hanging! This is an incredibly tragic moment, but you can clearly see the munchkin hanging from a noose in the background of this scene. He's the dark silhouette swaying in.
of The Wizard of Oz. Remember the hanging Munchkin legend and the crane . this is a side by side comparison of the two infamous scenes.
Does ‘The Wizard of Oz’ Include a Munchkin Suicide?
Description:Youtube user fallentwig has posted an excellent analysis of the two pieces above. It seems the more a story is bizarre and un-believable, the more it gets repeated! First of all, the forest scenes in The Wizard of Oz were filmed before the Munchkinland scenes, and thus none of the munchkin actors would yet have been present at MGM. Have they spotted the Munchkin? A spokesman for Bizarre magazine - which specialises in stories about life in the extreme - says the myth is a popular one. We played the tape several times but couldn't see the "dwarf suicide" or the mysterious bird!
