On this day, December 3, 1980, the romantic drama The Competition premiered in theaters. Directed by Joel Oliansky, the film starred Richard Dreyfuss and Amy Irving as rival pianists competing in a prestigious music contest, whose rivalry becomes complicated by their growing romantic feelings for one another.

The film combined intense musical performances with heartfelt drama, highlighting themes of ambition, sacrifice, and love. The Competition grossed $14.3 million at the box office and earned praise for its classical music focus and strong performances by Dreyfuss and Irving.
