james dean was born on this day in 1931. he would only star in three movies before his untimely death, but he left an impact on film forever. i love rebel without a cause and it’s a tragedy he never got to see the reception of his work.

Yoooo graphic design is my passion, and the 1950s have blessed me with their presence. 1950 started the decade off with two bangers - All About Eve and Sunset Boulevard.

All About Eve is not one to skip. Every member of the massive, all-star cast delivers an outstanding performance. The plot is sophisticated and sinister, with all of these little intricacies that demand your full attention. Oof! What a treat!

All About Eve also pushed back on the way people went to the theater in 1950. They forced scheduled showings with advance tickets to prevent people from entering in the middle of the film (something I was not fully aware was still happening in 1950???) Clearly this did not reduce sales with an $8+ million box office total.

Sunset Boulevard was not far behind (or ahead, rather, as it premiered 2 months earlier). Gloria Swanson's anticipated return to film brought in much publicity in larger cities, bringing in a modest box office total. The film-noir style of this one gave it a refreshing, fast pace that I was quite a fan of. It is superb melodrama, with just enough unease to make it an instant success.

At the 23rd Academy Awards, All About Eve set a new record for nominations, a record that will be tied two other times in Oscar history but never broken. Both films received a staggering number of acting nominations, with only one win between the two.

New insights for the 1950s include multiple acting nominations and a new Upset insight for higher general audience reception on Rotten Tomatoes! These two really went above and beyond.

Unofficial Review: You just can't compare the two! Goodness.

All About Eve can be found on the internet archive, and Sunset Boulevard is free on Pluto.
