Each of the participating theaters will show the film twice on both days (2pm and 7pm local time).

Make sure to get there on time as TCM host Robert Osborne gives a special introduction illuminating the history of this cinematic classic that has been an entertainment mainstay for the last 75 years.

The film received five Academy Award^® nominations, including “Best Picture” and captured two Oscars—“Best Song” (“Over the Rainbow”) and “Best Original Score”—plus a special award was presented to the film’s sixteen-year-old star Judy Garland for “Outstanding Juvenile Performance.”
