1965 in film

The year 1965 in film involved several significant events, with The Sound of Music topping the U.S. box office and winning five Academy Awards.

Top-grossing films (U.S.)
The top ten 1965 released films by box office gross in North America are as follows:

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 such a flop with critics and audiences that its failure discouraged production of religious epics for many years. It is considered notable in the 21st century for its astonishing landscapes, powerful and provocative cinematography, Max von Sydow's debut acting performance in an American film, and the 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 it suffered from extremely high production costs 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.
 * August 10 - A massive vault fire at MGM studios in Culver City, California, destroys the only known copies of hundreds of archived silent films, including Lon Chaney's London After Midnight and Greta Garbo's The Divine Woman.
 * 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 human spirit that defied the communist Soviet Union have made the film a true classic with critics and audiences. It was included among top films by 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; it was the greatest MGM film since Ben-Hur.

Talk:Biological warfare

Treatments
I corrected the "5% sodium hypochlorite solution" comment in the "Protective Measures" section to reflect the modern standards per MCWP 3-37.3 w/change 1. I could flush out this section with more information, but it would just end up needing to have its own section. I am not exactly sure why there is a treatment section at all in an encyclopedic entry about bio Weapons in the first place - NBCD Chief

Poison is biological warfare
Someone removed Israel poisoning Palestinian lands in the West Bank claiming it is not biological warfare. See here, poison is mentioned several times in the article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7150198/ Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:55, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The source cited doesn't mention biological warfare. Not every instance of poisoning is such. Also undue weight to make an entire section for this. Dovidroth (talk) 05:29, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Not every use of poison is biological warfare, but when poison is used in war, it is, so the info belongs here. The section is not "undue weight", there are sections in the article for many different wars, and this is about the Arab-Israeli conflict, so it needs its own section as it doesn't fit anywhere else.--Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 19:04, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Poison falls closer to chemical warfare than biological warfare. Ap2495 (talk) 18:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
