Frank Morgan is fine, but W. C. Fields would have been outrageous. He was first pick for the Wizard part but couldn't do it, I forget why.

According to biographer James Curtis, "Yip Harburg had written the Wizard's climactic speech with [Fields] in mind..."
Fields had just signed a new contract with Universal and was to begin work on another film at the very same time WoO was beginning filming. He was just too busy.
