Fox waxes nostalgic with Summer Film Fest lineup

They include “The Wizard of Oz,” “Gone With the Wind” and “The Women” (each 75th anniversary); “Double Indemnity” (70th); “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” and a singalong version of “Mary Poppins” (each 50th); a double-feature of “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein” (40th each); and “Field of Dreams” (25th).
