Yes, someone else shove me in a private mail in this direction. I wasn't aware of this line knowing only the german version of the book and film. > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPWenQxryr4 Nice clip.

This is not as bad as I thought it might be. I asked because I found no explanation of this saying and got redirected to the wikipedia article of the film where I found Dorothy's quotation. Knowing about the diffenrent colored filming in Kansas an Oz I misinterpret the meaning as 'the world is not b/w' wich would be 'you are to narrow minded'. Stan, thank you for the explanation. So long Dennis
