The is OP and OH.MY.GOD. Thank you SO much!!!! Although my sisters and I are freaking out about how we all ...MADE THIS UP???? WTF? That's crazy that we and plenty of others, apparently, have had this false memory.

SO. WEIRD!

Op, how do you or your sisters spell dilemma?
Many people remember learning the word was spelled with an "n" and taught to remember it by providing "dilemna in your head.

I am too! My DH also. I remember my teacher telling us to pronounce it di-lem-na to remember how to spell it.

Just watched the movie and told my husband that I remember a different ending when they panned down and showed the ruby slippers. He insisted Iwas wrong yet I remember it. It was a long time ago. I'm 70 now. But I'm glad to see I'm not the inky one. I wish there was an explanation to this, or are we all crazy thinking we saw that ending ?

Yes you are all crazy. Long time fan and know all scenes and most of the words. The Ruby red slippers are shown on some weird stockinged fake legs and feet under the house when Dorothy first lands in Oz. Then the legs/feet curl up/get pulled under the house and the shoes get put on Dorothy’s feet. Maybe you are thinking of that.

The red slippers on Dorothy’s feet are shown at the end before she returns home when Glinda asks her to tap them together and say there’s no place like home. But when she gets back home, the color is gone. It’s all black and white.

Could it be that the book version ended that way?

It’s not even about remembering it or not. The technology did not exist then. They barely had the technology for the color in general. There was never an ending with the ruby slippers.

They were silver shoes in the book. The ruby color was to show off the wonders of technicolor film.

I'm 58, I remember that ending, the shoes were in color against the black and white, it really happened, I saw it when I was a little girl and have wondered about every since

The color reveal in the beginning was used with a double that was “painted” to be sepia/BW. Mandela effect.

The book also doesn't have the "was Oz just a dream?" angle at all. It's unambiguously a real place.

I just saw The Wizard of Oz in a movie theater for the first time last weekend. There were no ruby slippers under the bed. It was showing for the movie’s 85th anniversary. Apparently, the last time it was in a theater was for the 50th anniversary.
