M.I.A. for 2008: Part 6, the 1950s

This decade, I think, holds the the largest number of WTF releases, including Johnny Guitar, The African Queen, and a few major Bergman titles. Unfortunately, my expertise in cinema really begins at the beginning of the 1960s, so there may be some unforgivable absences.
