Events
edit- January 9 –Joseph Vogelresigns as president ofMGMand is replaced byRobert O'Brien.
- February 20 – The classic epic westernHow the West Was Wonpremieres in the United States. It is an instant success with both audiences and critics and becomes the biggest moneymaker forMGMsinceBen-Hur.
- June 12 –Cleopatra,starringElizabeth Taylor,Rex HarrisonandRichard Burton,premieres at the Rivoli Theatre in New York City. Its staggering production costs nearly bankruptedTwentieth Century Foxand the adulterous affair between Taylor and Burton made the publicity even worse.Cleopatramarked the only instance that a film would be the highest-grossing film of a year while still losing money, thus establishing it as, at the time,the biggest box office disaster in cinema history.The film's terrible reception harmed the reputation of directorJoseph L. Mankiewicz,who had an esteemed career for directing classics likeA Letter to Three Wives,All About Eve,Julius Caesar,The Barefoot Contessa,Guys and Dolls,andSuddenly Last Summer.It effectively destroyed the career of its well-known producerWalter Wanger,who never worked in Hollywood or on another film again; he died five years later at the age of 74 of a heart attack. Much of the blame for the film's failures could be pointed at Taylor's super-diva personality, her health issues, her and Burton's adulterous affair, and the studio's inadequate management. It wouldn't be until two years later thatRodgers and Hammerstein's adaptation ofThe Sound of Musicwould help rescue Fox from bankruptcy by becomingone of the highest-grossing motion pictures of all time.
- November 7 – The comedyIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Worldpremieres, with one of the finestall-starensemble casts ever.[citation needed]It is also the first comedy film ever directed byStanley Kramer,best known for directing serious human drama films on controversial subjects likeThe Defiant Ones,Inherit the Wind,Judgment at Nuremberg,andGuess Who's Coming to Dinner.
- December 25 –Walt Disney's production ofThe Sword in the Stonepremieres. It is the second adaptation ofT. H. White'sThe Once and Future Kingafter theAlan Jay LernerandFrederick LoewemusicalCamelot,the first cinematic adaptation of the novel, and the 13th film adaptation of the legend ofKing Arthur.
