Genghis Khan is a 1965 biopic of the man himself, directed by Henry Levin and starring Omar Sharif in the title role, along with Stephen Boyd, James Mason, Eli Wallach, Françoise Dorléac, Robert Morley and Telly Savalas.Temujin, the teenaged son of a Mongol lord, is captured by Jamuga, a rival chieftain. Jamuga kills Temujin's father and makes Temujin a prisoner who has to wear a yoke. Temujin eventually escapes and assumes leadership of his tribe. He kidnaps Bortei, a noble woman betrothed to Jamuga, and makes her his bride; she falls in love with him. Temujin allies himself with the Emperor of China and defeats Jamuga, uniting the Mongol tribes and receiving the title of "Genghis Khan". He then conquers much of Asia before defeating Jamuga again and facing him in a final duel.Hardly the definitive Genghis Khan biopic, and not nearly as well remembered as that other historical epic Omar Sharif made in 1965. Buoyed to some extent by a strong lead performance from Sharif, and definitely held in better regard than that John Wayne movie.See also the 2007 film Mongol. | |

Yellowface | |
| Genghis Khan (1965) / int_4a875876 | comment |
Yellowface: While the filmmakers, probably wisely, made no effort to make the actors playing Mongols look Asian, the same was not true of the actors playing the Chinese characters. Robert Morley and James Mason are made up in Yellowface to play the emperor of China and his advisor Kam Ling, respectively. Mason, who plays the role as a mincing Charlie Chan stereotype, is particularly embarrassing. | |

A Match Made in Stockholm | |
| Genghis Khan (1965) / int_8f7059b | comment |
A Match Made in Stockholm: Bortei falls in love with Temujin after he kidnaps her from Jamuga's camp. Jamuga is evil, and as a Mongol noblewoman she was going to wind up in an Arranged Marriage of some sort anyway, so it's understandable. | |

And Starring: Oddly, Sharif gets this credit. Stephen Boyd, who plays the villain Jamuga, gets top billing. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| Genghis Khan (1965) / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Some things in this film are sort of true. Temujin was captured by an enemy when he was young. Bortei was snatched away by an enemy, and the paternity of her first child was in fact questioned. And the real Jamuga really was Temujin's main rival for control of the Mongol tribes. But the rest is mostly fiction. Temujin never made any kind of alliance with a Chinese emperor and never stayed in a Chinese emperor's palace. Jamuga, while he did become Temujin's chief rival, was also his friend from childhood, and Jamuga actually helped Temujin rescue Bortei from the rival chieftain who had kidnapped (and possibly impregnated) her. The marriage between Temujin and Bortei had been arranged from childhood. And there was no duel in which Temujin killed Jamuga but was mortally wounded himself; Temujin had the real Jamuga executed and then lived to see old age. | |
