Under the Rainbow: The Curious Crimes of the Ruby Slippers
In 2005, a pair of slippers from 'The Wizard of Oz' vanishes from the Judy Garland Museum in Minnesota.

Thyer's 2026 documentary not only reconstructs the high-profile case but probes the dark side of nostalgia. Through interviews with agents, insurance investigators, and obsessed fans, the film reveals how a symbol of childhood wonder became the target of a crime that unfolded in the rainbow's shadow.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Thomas R. Thyer structures the narrative like a police dossier, where every witness holds a piece of the puzzle. The camera captures not just facts, but the tremor in a voice when discussing the artifact's magical pull.
What lingers is the peculiar realization that the true mystery isn't who stole them, but why these sequins and red glass drive grown adults to madness. — MovieFinder Editorial

In a library reading room surrounded by old newspapers and microfilm, where the quiet sharpens a detective's curiosity.
