As determined by Top Ten Reviews, here are the top 10 movies of the 1950’s. The site lists a lot more than that, and given the nature of reviews, this list is subject to change a little over time, but I can’t imagine by much!

1950’s music was so varied… You had those hanging on to the crooner-style of the 40s, and then you had the Rock-N-Rollers.
Some of these, I don’t even know! I noticed that Hank Williams was on the scene, however I wouldn’t necessarily call him either a crooner or a rock-n-roller, so I didn’t list his […]
Mr. Nathan Detroit. Whatta guy!
Featuring the song “Luck Be A Lady” (sung in the film by Marlon Brando - NOT Sinatra, as he had done in his stage performances ever afterward). Apparantly, Ol’ Blue Eyes wanted this song/character from the get-go… Wonder why!?

I’ve been on the hunt on YouTube to find those old “home of the future” movie shorts that they used to show with cartoons and such from the 50’s but I’m not having much luck. I’ve found a couple things, but they’re really not the ones I’m looking for.
Think back to when you were […]
Yay! I love this! I really don’t think I could’ve imagined a better image!
As I mentioned in the previous post about the Sinatra stamp, I used to be a stamp collector when I was a kid, and I have a set of the Audrey Hepburn stamps that came out a few years ago (2003, I […]
Today would’ve been Frank Sinatra’s 92nd birthday.
The US Postal Service is honoring him (finally) with a stamp which will be unveiled sometime later today. (The image on the left is not necessarily the image to be used on the stamp, however it’s a photo from the same time period (’50s) as the supposed image on […]
“Chanel’s own lifestyle fueled her ideas of how modern women everywhere should look, act, and dress. Her own slim boyish figure and cropped hair became an ideal, as did her tanned skin, active lifestyle, and financial independence. Throughout her career, Chanel succeeded in packaging and marketing her own personal attitudes and style, making her a […]
I love this song - I can’t even tell you why, other than that his voice is cool and I can envision the band. One of the things that makes me love Bobby Darin so much is that he was a performer in every sense of the word. He had a pretty tragic life, and […]
I know, the title of the film is “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” but dammit Jane Russell’s a knockout and makes all us brunette babies envious in this clip from the film. She wasn’t “sweet” looking like Marilyn, and her voice is deeper as well. I’m loving her outfit though, and the hair and makeup are quite […]
It’s a Marilyn Monroe Movie Marathon tonight on AMC!

All about the style, swagger, and sexy hip of the smooth-voiced singers from the 40's, 50's, and 60's era of music and life.
