Anyone with a computer and Internet connection can be off to see "The Wizard of Oz" for free next month, courtesy of Netflix Inc.'s movie-streaming service.
The free showings will be available throughout the U.S. for 24 hours beginning at 9 a.m. EDT Oct. 3.
It's part of a publicity stunt to draw attention to the film's 70th anniversary. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is celebrating the occasion by selling a special edition of the movie on Blu-ray and DVD beginning Sept. 29.
Netflix's 10.6 million subscribers will be able to watch "The Wizard of Oz" in high-definition during the free promotion if they have a flat-panel TV and one of the many gadgets compatible with the company's streaming service.
Customers just have to remember to add the movie to their queues.Non-subscribers should be able to watch the movie for free on their computers by going to http://www.netflix.com/wizardofoz.
