Well, 1963 served up a real treat for the movie goer,
there was something for everyone, It's a mad,mad,mad,mad world's star studded cast had audiences falling off their seats with laughter, while The Birds and The Haunting had those same audiences hiding behind their popcorn !!!
Female audience figures must have been huge for Hud (Paul Newman) and The Great Escape (Steve McQueen) and Lilies of The Field (Sidney Poitier). Sean Connery starred in his 2nd Bond movie, From Russia With Love, while Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton starred in the all time classic , Cleopatra.
A star studded cast must have drawn them in by the millions to see The Great Escape, starring such legends as Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, James Coburn !!!!
