Herman J. Mankiewicz was the first of 10 screenwriters to work on The Wizard of Oz screenplay. But Herman opposed making the book into a movie and wrote some ridiculous scenes that were quickly eliminated. But it was Herman who suggested they film the Kansas scenes in black and white and the Oz scenes in color. Furthermore, he specified that the black and white scenes should be in dull grays rather than vivid contrast, to reflect the boredom of Dorothy's life in Kansas.
