Trivia: Who directed both “The Wizard of Oz” and “Gone With the Wind”?
John Ford
Francis Ford Coppola
Alfred Hitchcock
Victor Fleming
The correct answer is Victor Fleming
So why is this answer correct? : Lightning struck twice in 1939 when Victor Fleming directed both “The Wizard of Oz” and “Gone With the Wind,” which are widely considered two of the greatest movies of all time. In each case, he was hired to replace another director and get a troubled production back on track. His efforts earned him a Best Director Oscar for “Gone With the Wind,” which also won Best Picture at the 1940 Academy Awards — over, among other films, “The Wizard of Oz.”
