Hundreds of full-length films were produced during the decade of the 1950s.


Films of the 1950s were of a broad scope and wide variety. As a result of the widespread growth of television, the studios and companies sought to put audiences back in theaters. Using the strength of film production, they used a more broad and vast scope in presenting their films through widescreen and big-approach methods, such as Cinemascope, VistaVision, and Cinerama as well as gimmicks like 3-D film. Big production and spectacle films perfect for this gained popularity with the many historic and fantasy epics like The Robe, The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men, The Ten Commandments (1956), The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, and Ben-Hur (1959). Other big-scoped films thrived internationally, too, such as Russian fantasy director Aleksandr Ptushko's mythological epics Sadko, Ilya Muromets, and Sampo and Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's historic Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, and The Hidden Fortress.
