There may be some people here who specialize in the '50's and 60's. Movies in the U.S. are becoming more famous for what they cost than for what they deliver. The people in power are greedy for money, not art. Computers, cgi, digital cameras and hand-held video offer possibilities for independent film makers that did not exist 50 years ago with the technology of that era.
