Shenandoah


I know the write-ups all say that this film was released in 1965, but I question this. I am almost positive that I saw this film in a private, special showing at our local movie house in 1961 as a commerative of the 100 anniversery of the start of the Civil War.

Can someone set me straight for once & for-all?

Thanks,

Hey electroal. Just clicked on to your post and according to the American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films 1961-1970 Shenandoah was released June 3, 1965 with the opening in Houston, Texas. The film is copyrighted July 24, 1965.

I don't think Universal Pictures would hold up release of a perfectly good movie starring James Stewart for 4 years.

You must be mistaken.
Hope this helps you out.

Just reading the posts for one of my favorite movies.

I attended the world premiere for Shenandoah in San Antonio, Texas in June of 1965. I was stationed at Fort Sam Houston at the time and I will never forget the experience. I got to see the entire cast including the great Jimmy Stewart in person. I fell in love with Katharine Ross on that day and I still think that she is one of the most beautiful women to walk the face of this earth.

1965 would have commemorated the end of the civil war...
Could that be it?

It's amazing that 20 months passed in between the first and second post.
