The resistivity of Pr0.65 Ca0.35 MnO3 films prepared by pulsed laser deposition has been measured in the temperature range 4.2 - 300 K. The formation of metallic phase is suggested by the analysis of the temperature dependence of resistivity at low temperatures under zero-magnetic field. It is shown that the appearance of the charge-ordered state at 205 K can be controlled by the lattice strains accumulated during the film growth. The charge-ordering energy gap was estimated to be 77.5 meV from the experimental data. Experimental results are interpreted on the basis of the phase-separation model.
