 In the first take of the scene when the Wicked Witch of the West  leaves Munchkinland, the smoke that was supposed to go up around her  came early, and started forming before she stepped on the platform  she was supposed to be on. On the second take, part of  Margaret Hamilton (qv)s cape got caught in the platform when the  burst of fire appeared. She got severely burnt, and the producers  used the first take. Youll notice the early appearance of the red  smoke.
