The 1950s

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast - A podcast by Paul James and Josh Knapp

Categories:

For our 50th episode, we talk about films from the 1950s.  This decade saw the development of auteurs like writer/directors Billy Wilder and Akira Kurosawa, the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock and a young director named Stanley Kubrick.  The 50s also saw a shift in the art of performance with actors like Marlon Brando and James Dean.  We also go on a short tangent about Rodney Ascher's left-of-center documentary "Room 237" involving some extreme theories on the meaning of Kubrick's "The Shining".  Subscribe on iTunes:  https://itun.es/i6gB67Y  Check out our Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/actorandengineer and follow us on twitter @actorengineer.
