...Movies of the 50's

I love old movies as much as marshmallows. No. Maybe more. Even so, I will consider any one you smack in my face. Enough said.

1. Rebel Without a Cause (James Dean, hello?!) - 1955

James Dean plays a rebellious young teen in this movie.

2. A Place in the Sun - 1951

A poor boy gets a job working for his rich uncle and falls in love with two women. It stars Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Cliff and Shelley Winters.

3. Yield To The Night (A.K.A Blonde Sinner) - 1956

This British crime film stars the lovely Diana Dors as a murderess who has been sentenced to death.

4. The Unholy Wife - 1957

Another Diana Dors film. It is about a femme fatale who tells her story from a prison cell.

5. Giant - 1956

James Dean was killed in a car accident before this film was released and Nick Adams had to be called in for some voice-over dubbing for the role. It is about a rich man who falls in love with a beautiful young socialite and they marry. It stars Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean and Rock Hudson. James Dean plays a shy young man who is mad for Elizabeth Taylor.
