'A re-telling of the Wizard of Oz as a rock 'n' roll road movie with Dorothy as a groupie and the Wizard as a king of rock' (Source: NSFA. Sighted: 1/6/2012).

David Stratton described the film as 'one of the most inventive and enjoyable of Australian films - clever, brash, noisy, gutsy and uninhibited', while William K. Halliwell said, 'This is a light-hearted rip off of the Wizard of Oz story set to rock music. The film is rough and ready, but it is something just short of genius when you consider its originality, even though it's based on an old story. The comedy is quick and quite ahead of its time for mid-seventies Australia, which is probably why it failed here'. Source: Innersense Productions (http://www.innersense.com.au/mif/lofven.html).

The film is described as being based on L. Frank Baum's novel, but the doubling of roles suggests it was influenced more strongly by the 1939 film adaptation.
