The 50s were the Golden Age of Hollywood. Young stars knew how to act and studios invested heavily in epic films such as Ben Hur, a trend which has only just come back in with the sucesses of Lord of the Rings and the forthcoming Troy. Extras and stunts were real as there were no computers to do the work for them. The films are still entertaining today, and you should check some of the following out.
