The year 1965 in film involved some significant events, with ''The Sound of Music'' topping the U.S. box office. ==Events== * February 15 - George Stevens' production of ''The Greatest Story Ever Told'', a retelling of the account of Jesus Christ, premieres in New York City, New York. It was a flop with critics and audiences and it discouraged production of religious epics for many years. It's notable today for its impressive landscapes, powerful and provocative cinematography, Max von Sydow's American film debut performance, and final film performance of Claude Rains. * March 2 - The Rodgers and Hammerstein film adaptation of ''The Sound of Music'', directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, premieres. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon and an instant classic. It successfully displaced ''Gone with the Wind'' to become, at the time, the highest-grossing film of all-time. ''The Sound of Music'' is credited as the film that saved and restored Twentieth Century-Fox from bankruptcy after suffering from ridiculously high production costs and low revenue of ''Cleopatra'', two years prior. * July 1 - Blake Edwards's epic comedy ''The Great Race'', starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Natalie Wood, Peter Falk, and Keenan Wynn, premieres. Initially a flop with critics and audiences, some do admire Edwards' direction, the acting by its ensemble cast, Henry Mancini's music and its climactic pie fight. * December 22 - David Lean's film adaptation of Boris Pasternak's ''Doctor Zhivago'', starring Omar Sharif, Julie Christie, Rod Steiger, and Alec Guinness, premieres and, like ''The Sound of Music'', quickly became a worldwide phenomenon. Its moral story and message of a love and the human spirit that defied against the communist Soviet Union have made the film a true classic by the critics and audiences and, later, the American Film Institute. In a decade of very difficult times for its studio, ''Zhivago'' became the most successful and acclaimed Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film since ''How the West Was Won'' and the greatest MGM film since ''Ben-Hur''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1965 in film」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
