Picture Shows (Movies) by Liam O'Connor

In the 1950's they called movies a picture show. The movies were very dark and different. They didn't show as much emotion.

A famous movie in the 1950's was called "All About Eve". It had won 6 oscars and had great reviews. It was about a woman who loved theater and really wanted to get on Broadway.  Eventually she did get on broadway.  She loved it so much. http://mauitime.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/All-About-Eve-Movie-Image-courtesy-Fathom-Events-jpg.jpg

Another movie in the 1950's was called "Sunset Boulevard".  This movie was about a screenwriter being hired to rework a faded silent film star's script only to find himself developing a dangerous relationship. It is really interesting and had won 3 oscars.
