Events
January 9 –
Joseph Vogel resigns as president of
MGM and is replaced by
Robert O'Brien .
February 20 – The classic epic western
How the West Was Won premieres in the United States. It is an instant success with both audiences and critics and becomes the biggest moneymaker for
MGM since
Ben-Hur .
June 12 –
Cleopatra , starring
Elizabeth Taylor ,
Rex Harrison and
Richard Burton , premieres at the Rivoli Theatre in New York City. Its staggering production costs nearly bankrupted
Twentieth Century Fox and the adulterous affair between Taylor and Burton made the publicity even worse. Cleopatra marked 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 director
Joseph L. Mankiewicz , who had an esteemed career for directing classics like
A Letter to Three Wives ,
All About Eve ,
Julius Caesar ,
The Barefoot Contessa ,
Guys and Dolls , and
Suddenly Last Summer . It effectively destroyed the career of its well-known producer
Walter 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 that
Rodgers and Hammerstein 's adaptation of
The Sound of Music would help rescue Fox from bankruptcy by becoming
one of the highest-grossing motion pictures of all time .
November 7 – The comedy
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World premieres, with one of the finest
all-star ensemble casts ever.[
citation needed ] It is also the first comedy film ever directed by
Stanley Kramer , best known for directing serious human drama films on controversial subjects like
The Defiant Ones ,
Inherit the Wind ,
Judgment at Nuremberg , and
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner .
December 25 –
Walt Disney 's production of
The Sword in the Stone premieres. It is the second adaptation of
T. H. White 's
The Once and Future King after the
Alan Jay Lerner and
Frederick Loewe musical
Camelot , the first cinematic adaptation of the novel, and the 13th film adaptation of the legend of
King Arthur .
