Honoring 70th anniversary of 'Oz' premiere
Posted: June 22, 2009
City of Oconomowoc — Seventy years after "The Wizard of Oz" first premiered at the old Strand Theatre in downtown Oconomowoc, that
milestone will be honored with a special showing of the perennial favorite.
In celebration of its footnote in a fabled chapter of American film history, Oconomowoc will honor the film though a special event planned by Moonlit
Movies.
"We're going to step out of the box a bit and in August we're shutting down the street between City Hall and the Four Corners to commemorate
the 70th anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz," which was premiered here in Oconomowoc," said T.J. Rinaldi, who serves on the Board of Directors for
Moonlit Movies.
A 40-foot screen will be set up at City Hall, facing west.
The event will be held on Aug. 13, the third Thursday of the month, in keeping with the usual Moonlit Movie schedule.
"Coincidentally, that is one day later than the 70th anniversary of the original showing of 'The Wizard of Oz,' " said Craig Pruscha, one of the
founders of Moonlit Movies.
According to information from Warner Brothers, the movie premiered here on Aug. 12, 1939, which is considered the official anniversary date. The
movie had a Hollywood premiere three days later, on Aug. 15, at Grauman's Chinese Theater.
