I have kept film frozen and used it a decade later with only a slight
increase in fog and slight loss of speed.  

                        CHEERS!

yeah, but don't do that with movie film. It will jam or stick to itself if
any moisture is present.

It will do no harm.

One summer isn't a very long storage time to worry about unless
you live in a desert shack.

I am on a one-man crusade to prove it is an urban myth that
"condensation will damage film if you don't let it warm up
for (variously 1 hour to 1 day)".  

I make a point of ripping the film from the bowels of the 
deep-freeze, opening it and putting in the camera with 
out any warming and doing so in the humidist place I can find.

I have had nothing but failure in my attempt to create 
condensation damage.  Requests for examples of condensation 
damage have come to naught.

My conclusion is that there are better things to do in life than 
waiting for film to warm up.  And writing about film warming up 
is not one of them.  I'm out of here ...  ciao!
