1935 Films

The following is an overview of 1935 in film, including significant events, a list of films released and notable births and deaths. The cinema releases of 1935 were highly representative of the early Golden Age period of Hollywood. This period was punctuated by performances from Clark Gable, Shirley Temple, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and the first teaming of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. A significant number of productions also originated in the UK film industry.

Top-grossing films (U.S.)

The top ten 1935 released films by box office gross in North America are as follows:

Events

* February 22 – '' The Little Colonel'' premieres starring Shirley Temple, Lionel Barrymore and Bill Robinson, featuring a famous stair dance with Hollywood's first interracial dance couple
* February 23 – Gene Autry stars as himself as the Singing Cowboy in the serial '' The Phantom Empire''. He would later be voted the number one Western star from 1937 to 1942.
* February 27 – Seven-year-old Shirley Temple wins the first special Academy Juvenile Award.
* March – The Bantu Educational Kinema Experiment is started in order to educate the Bantu peoples.
* May 31 – Fox Film and Twentieth Century Pictures merge to form 20th Century Fox.
* June 13 – Following the merger of six smaller independent film companies including Monogram Pictures, Mascot Pictures, Liberty Pictures and Majestic Pictures, Herbert J. Yates completed the formation of Republic Pictures.
* August 15 – Will Rogers who the previous year was voted the Top Money Making Star dies in a plane crash.
* August 25 – William Boyd appears in his first of 66 films as Hopalong Cassidy in '' Hop-Along Cassidy''.
* September – Judy Garland signs a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).
* September 5 – Gene Autry appears in his first film for the newly formed Republic Pictures – '' Tumbling Tumbleweeds'', named after his second million-selling record.
* November 30 – The British-made film '' Scrooge'', the first all-talking film version of Charles Dickens' novel '' A Christmas Carol'', opens in the U.S. after its U.K. release on November 26. Seymour Hicks plays Ebenezer Scrooge, a role he has played onstage hundreds of times. The film is criticized by some for not showing all of the ghosts physically, and quickly fades into obscurity. Widespread interest does not surface until the film is shown on television in the 1980s, in very shabby-looking prints. It is eventually restored on DVD.
