The 1960s begin with West Side Story and David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia. Stanley Kubrick dominates the years with his films, including Spartacus, Dr. Strangelove and 2001: A Space Odyssey. In addition, multi-layered psychoanalyses such as The Apartment, Psycho or The Manchurian Candidate are created, all of which show that Hollywood can also make smaller films. Jerry Lewis, Doris Day and Mel Brooks develop their comedies, which are still popular today. Elizabeth Taylor appears alongside Richard Burton in Cleopatra – a flop that almost bankrupts an entire Hollywood studio.
