High production values on the motion pictures during this era produced movies that gained international acclaim. In 1952, Manuel Conde's "Genghis Khan" became the first Asian film to be shown at the Venice and Cannes Film Festival, a feat that would not be repeated until the 1970s. Inspired by Conde's picture, Hollywood remade "Genghis Khan" in 1956 as "The Conqueror" starring John Wayne as Genghis Khan and produced by RKO Radio Pictures. And also of Columbia Pictures' film "Genghis Khan" in which Omar Sharif portrayed in the title role in 1965.
