In the late-eighties, thanks to my youngest daughter’s obsession with Indiana Jones, I began to notice a leitmotif running through Spielberg’s films. Hah! There were the flying monkeys…the chanting soldiers in furry hats…even Nazis melting. “Oh, what a world!”
It soon became a family game: “Can you spot the Wizard of Oz moment in…?”
So I offer it up to you, now, whether you are a movie buff, a Spielberg admirer, or just a fan of the story whose “kindly philosophy never goes out of fashion.”
