S1, E102: The 1950s showcase iconic performances from Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard and Bette Davis in All About Eve. A new style of screen acting begins to emerge from performances by Marlon Brando, James Dean and Eva Marie Saint. Legendary musicals are released, including Singin’ in the Rain, Meet Me in St. Louis and A Star is Born. Hollywood’s golden era comes to a close with directors working at the height of their careers: Billy Wilder makes Some Like it Hot, Hitchcock creates Vertigo and North By Northwest, and John Ford casts John Wayne in perhaps his deepest role in The Searchers.
