Movies From the 50's Showed False Relationships

I have to make one thing clear not all movies in the 50’s were in black and white on the screen. They did include color.

The most famous movie that I remember is Cinderella that came out in 1950.

It is a Walt Disney cartoon movie and it made big success for Disney as before releasing this movie they were about to lose this company.

What I love about the movie covers is that they were so creative in showcasing what the movie was about by putting a catchy picture.

Included massive faces with another couple on there with a film strip that shows the title of the movie or how they drew a couple on there and had great paragraphs to catch the viewers eye to watch them.

It may not sound too exciting when I describe it, but it is so different to the movie covers that we produce today.

During this era, many people physically went to the movie theaters and paid for them in person. This must have been a fun activity out of the house for them.

I am sure not a lot of people went to the movies as some were too poor to pay and watch or they were too busy with family or work life.

I do notice there was a lot of western movies advertised as it seems to be what was popular back in the 1950’s and romance films as well too.

Which does make sense as society was recovering from war and advertised that it is okay to fall in love and start a family.  

Marriage and children were a big part of the 50’s as they lost so many people in World War II. How many wanted to forget about the trauma and focus on something else happier.

I noticed that a lot of the movies were catered towards adults as I did not see many kids ones in my research.

It was more about the gory action movies, mystery, romance, fantasy, chick flicks, and funny movies they advertised.

I would have thought they would cater towards more kid movies but on the other hand children played outside a lot or either read books.

At this thought I can see why they catered towards adults rather than kids for movies in the 1950’s.

Marilyn Monroe Mask 50s

This is a stunning Marilyn mask for those who love the 1950’s! The mask has a quote directly from when this famous actress was alive and has her signature red lip. They made this item out of cotton and has a black background. They included her bleach blonde hair and with winged eyeliner. My mother has this exact same mask and she wears it everywhere. It reminds me of when she got her Marilyn soap bottle that she got in her bathroom. She loves all items that consist of this actress.

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage!

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage! This woman has a cute 50’s styled outfit. She has a blue hat, long V-neck striped pattern shirt, blue skirt, clipped tights, and black and white shoes. The background on this art has two clouds, symmetrical trees lined up and a lake. What I noticed next was the big fish and the log she is sitting on. From this poster she looks as if she is fishing and what is she fishing for? I would say fish, but others would disagree. This woman has bright red lipstick and curly hair as well. I imagine this art in a man cave since it gives off the vibe of sexual appeal. I do not want to categorize so I think some women would love this poster in their home as well.

What Was Valentine's Day Like in the 1950s

Many people in this era loved Valentine's Day not only because was it is a fun holiday but it is a celebration of love! Everything was decked out for this fun day with Valentine creations such as small decorations, valentine cards, hanging hearts in store windows, and more! You saw lots of couples walking the streets holding hands, families spending time together, and store owners with smiles on their faces for obtaining lots of sales.  Many children in school made Valentine's cards to give out to their classmates and created big posters of a baby cupids to take home.  Celebrity pinup girls were posed for this special holiday with hearts in the background or wearing having hearts on their clothes.  Marylin Monroe in particular did a Valentine's Day photo shoot with two big hearts as her backdrop. She was wearing high-waisted shorts, a small crop top with strings, boots, and a cute hat.  There was many Broadway movies that came out during this holiday and one that was...
