kodi::gui::dialogs::TextViewer::Show("The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)",
 "The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 American musical comedy-drama fantasy film "
 "produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and the most well-known and commercially "
 "successful adaptation based on the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz "
 "by L. Frank Baum. The film stars Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. The film"
 "co-stars Terry the dog, billed as Toto; Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, "
 "Frank Morgan, Billie Burke, Margaret Hamilton, with Charley Grapewin and "
 "Clara Blandick, and the Singer Midgets as the Munchkins.\n"
 "\n"
 "Notable for its use of Technicolor, fantasy storytelling, musical score and "
 "unusual characters, over the years it has become an icon of American popular "
 "culture. It was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture but "
 "lost to Gone with the Wind. It did win in two other categories including Best "
 "Original Song for \"Over the Rainbow\". However, the film was a box office "
 "disappointment on its initial release, earning only $3,017,000 on a $2,777,000 "
 "budget, despite receiving largely positive reviews. It was MGM's most "
 "expensive production at that time, and did not completely recoup the studio's "
 "investment and turn a profit until theatrical re-releases starting in 1949.\n"
 "\n"
 "The 1956 broadcast television premiere of the film on CBS re-introduced the "
 "film to the wider public and eventually made the presentation an annual "
 "tradition, making it one of the most known films in cinema history. The "
 "film was named the most-viewed motion picture on television syndication by "
 "the Library of Congress who also included the film in its National Film "
 "Registry in its inaugural year in 1989. Designation on the registry calls "
 "for efforts to preserve it for being \"culturally, historically, and "
 "aesthetically significant\". It is also one of the few films on UNESCO's "
 "Memory of the World Register.\n"
 "\n"
 "The Wizard of Oz is often ranked on best-movie lists in critics' and public "
 "polls. It is the source of many quotes referenced in modern popular culture. "
 "It was directed primarily by Victor Fleming (who left production to take "
 "over direction on the troubled Gone with the Wind production). Noel Langley, "
 "Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf received credit for the screenplay, "
 "but there were uncredited contributions by others. The songs were written "
 "by Edgar \"Yip\" Harburg (lyrics) and Harold Arlen (music). The incidental "
 "music, based largely on the songs, was composed by Herbert Stothart, with "
 "interspersed renderings from classical composers.\n");
