The Fabulous Fifties: An era of identical pink pressboard suburban houses filled with smiling, apron-clad housewives. All the men wear slippers and fedoras and smoke pipes, all the girls are teenaged and wear poodle skirts, and all the boys are cute, freckle faced scamps with slingshots in their pockets. Parents sleep in separate beds and only kiss each other on the cheek.
Anyone who isn't any of these characters are either greasers, Beatniks, gas station attendants, or Elvis (who, in this era, wouldn't be caught dead in a rhinestone jumpsuit). With the possible exception of the gas station attendants, everyone on that list is a direct threat to the upright morals and values of the era and will not be afforded a spot in the basement bomb shelter when the Reds drop The Big One. Meanwhile, Martin Luther King Jr. and the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement stride across the United States, slowed down only by the occasional Smalltown Tyrant. The birth of rock 'n' roll took place in this era, to the horror of Moral Guardians, which also showed a resurgence in popularity.
That's the popular view of the Fifties, at least. In media, there are three versions of The Fifties. The first is the Fifties Fifties, i.e. how the time was portrayed in works that were actually made then. In this version, The Fifties were a suburban paradise where everyone was always happy, either forgetting the bad events that happened during the last decade or reminiscing the prosperous times of previous decades, and there were no problems except for all those juvenile delinquents running around. Unless the local college had some commies spreading un-American values or the flying saucers are landing. The fifties uptightness was linked to real world anxieties and atom-bomb jitters, after all. Don't expect the civil rights movement to show up. Hell, seeing actual black people is a bit of a crapshoot. The Fifties Fifties are in contemporary times a popular subject of The Parody.
The next version is the Nostalgic Fifties of The '70s and The '80s. By that time, there were a huge number of adults nostalgic for the "simple times" of their youth and Hollywood obliged. The biggest difference between this version and the Fifties Fifties is that the rebellious teenagers are now the heroes. We learn that all the teenagers back then liked to hang out at the local Malt Shop, where a jukebox played Nothing but Hits. The girls were only seemingly wholesome and both sexes were experiencing their own Coming Of Age Stories while necking down at the Drive-In Theater and watching Robot Monster like the unabashed B movie fans they were.
Finally, there are the Historical Fifties from The '90s to the Present Day. The Nostalgic Fifties are now starting to die out, replaced by other decades as there are becoming fewer and fewer writers in Hollywood who remember the Fifties... and many of these writers are the children of those former "rebellious teens", and take a somewhat more jaundiced view of their parents' upbringing. Therefore, the time period, as portrayed by Hollywood, is becoming more the textbook version. Films about The Fifties today tend more to deal with the political issues of that era (civil rights, McCarthyism, etc.) and less with its teen culture. Which is not to say it is necessarily any more accurate of course, merely that the decade is now filtered more through a political/ideological lens than a nostalgic one and teenagers aren't the only people that matter. During this period, there were currents that anticipated trends from later decades but because of the repressiveness and censorship of the culture, they were on the margins rather than the mainstream, so modern views are more informed from this perspective.
For a glimpse of what (some) Americans actually living in the Fifties thought of their world, read the Time Travel stories of Jack Finney. His heroes are generally lonely, frustrated, unhappy bachelors eager to escape from their conformist gray-flannel-suited world, usually into The Gay '90s. Likewise actual 50s film are also a good depiction, not only Hollywood but also independent films such as Shadows by John Cassavetes (actually shot in 50s New York and dealt with working-class African-American characters). Film Noir was a major genre during the Fifties, that doesn't easily fit in with any of the mainstream versions of the decade listed above, even if many 50s Film Noir actually dealt with the underbelly of crime and represented it in this period and indeed one of the key period films depicting this time is of course Goodfellas (Henry Hill's childhood and teenage years). This includes modern noir set during the Fifties like L.A. Confidential (1997) or The Black Dahlia. The other popular genres in this decade are The Musical, The Western, the B-Movie, the Epic Movie, widescreen cinema. Formerly the 50s was considered a weak era for Hollywood, these days a growing contingent considers it the greatest period of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Speaking of movies, this was the first decade when Hollywood was old enough to reflect upon itself, gazing fondly (or not) on the Silent Era. See movies like Singin' in the Rain for comedic takes on the subject, and Sunset Boulevard for dramatic ones.
The political decade of the fifties began with V-J Day on August 15, 1945, the start of The Korean War on June 25, 1950 and the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower as President on November 4, 1952 ending two decades of Democrat dominance in Washington and ended with the March on Washington on August 28, 1963 and the Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963. Culturally speaking, it started with the mass production of TV sets in 1946 and the premiere of I Love Lucy on October 15, 1951 and ended with the theatrical release of Psycho on September 8, 1960 and the American debut of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. In many ways it is one of the longest cultural "decades" since, when looking at the furthest possible endpoints, it covers the whole period between V-J Day to the start of The British Invasion (1945-64). Shifts in this period include 1955-57 as TV ownership reached a tipping point, tailfin cars got REALLY wild, women's skirts got shorter in reaction against the neo-Victorian "New Look" that had started in the late '40s, Rock & Roll started getting serious radio play and the first wave of Baby Boomers reached Junior High. Another shift was the October 1957 launch of Sputnik which launched the Space Race, the point where the decade's futurism and science-fiction dreams went into government policy.
Interestingly, the decade has triggered highly contradictory reactions among people who do not remember it well since the 1970s. Fifties cars are still admired aesthetically (in some areas, you can still find them on the street), Fifties clothes are enormously popular for costume parties, and Fifties music (at least, the sort that doesn't sound like holdovers from the Forties) will probably never be thought unfashionable. In addition, many seem to view the decade, with much sadness, as a forever-vanished idyllic time that was infinitely more conservative and family-friendly (although this is not what people actually living through the decade necessarily thought). At the same time, the 1950s is often treated as a sort of historical Butt-Monkey; an all-purpose dartboard on which anyone who is irritated by social repression — especially if it concerns sex — can feel free to take out their frustrations. (Whenever you hear of someone described as having "Fifties values," it usually isn't intended to be a compliment.)
But those who wish to Flanderize an entire decade should know that the 1950s were actually marked by great strides forward in social progress, sexual and otherwise, even if they still existed mostly on the theoretical level. And in any case, they were a lot less repressed than the eras that preceded them. The decade was also a period of relative stability and unprecedented optimism, both probably enhanced by comparison since the period was bracketed by the horrors of World War II and the upcoming turbulence of The '60s. This was particularly prevalent in the US, which had not only triumphed in the war but, more importantly, was just about the only major nation to come out of the conflict with its infrastructure intact. With no rebuilding to do, the focus was on innovation; there was a strong belief in the prospect of limitless progress through science and industry, which led to a lot of gee-whiz science fiction that's now covered with Zeerust. It's no coincidence that the ultimate embodiment of optimism, Disneyland, opened in 1955, with its cornerstone of Tomorrowland, promising a "great big beautiful tomorrow." Compare Aluminum Christmas Trees.

Compare The Gilded Age across the pond, a similar era of prosperity with similar underlying problems (conformity, stratification, classism, and limited roles for women) - although as with the the 1950's, people were struggling for progress, as evidenced by the labour movement gaining steam and increasing demands for women's suffrage.

The Adventures of Superman was made in the fifties, but its first season, at least, was also far from "suburban paradise", and not just because it was set in a major city. The first season, shot in black and white, had major Film Noir influences, albeit toned down for a children's television series. Clark Kent, although called a "mild-mannered reporter" in the opening narration, came across much more as a hard-boiled tough guy; when he was Superman, interestingly, he came across much more as the "big blue boy scout". The villains were typically gangsters and hoodlums. The subsequent seasons, shot in color, were more typically Fifties-Fifties, with a more sci-fi than noir sensibility.

Dragnet was a Police Procedural that ran from the late Forties through the Sixties. While there is Fifties conformity scattered throughout the series, the show is not completely clean, showing the ugly side of society as they solve each week's crime. Was somewhat made in response to the negative view of the police force during the time period.

The 5,000 Fingers Of Dr. T (1953) the only live-action film by Dr. Seuss, possibly the most bizarre film made in the Fifties itself. Its child star, Tommy Rettig, went on to star in Lassie (see above). Think Return to Oz meets Leave It to Beaver meets Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory meets The Rocky Horror Picture Show (you know... for kids!)

Matinee (1993), though technically set in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, attempts to pinpoint on film the moment when a town full of adorable scamps and movie lovers left The Fifties and entered The '60s.
It's a very Troperrific rendition, complete with the protagonist's bratty younger brother who is obsessed with The Lone Ranger and carries around die-cast pistols everywhere, "the Love Interest in poodle skirt" who his best friend is afraid to ask out to the dance, and the love interest's "abusive greaser ex-boyfriend".

Hoosiers: Filmed in 1985, released in 1986. Like The Last Picture Show in the "Nostalgic Fifties" folder, it's a bit more complicated than some on this list. It's also set in 1951 (thus predating a lot of the standard decade tropes), with the real-life event on which it was very loosely based having occurred in 1954. Its rural Indiana setting also places it at some remove from the middle-class "mainstream" of the era.

The Honeymooners was made in the fifties, but it's far from "suburban paradise": it features a married couple, who live in a crappy, cold-water walk-up apartment, can't afford a TV or a vacuum cleaner, and fight all the time. This was, of course, typical for many Americans at the time.

The Fallout series not only is a throwback to 1950s sci-fi, it also have many parodies of that time period — such as a virtual reality '50s simulator with kids and adults repeating those same phrases at the beginning of the page. It also touches on the political aspects a bit, and what little information there is about the pre-Great-War world suggests that America got so bad becoming a radioactive hellscape is actually an improvement.

Time Out of Joint by Philip K. Dick is a deconstructive Mind Screwdriver of an apparently realistic novel, written in 1959 and apparently set in 1959, but as the book goes on, the characters find apparent anomalies, such as ancient and water-damaged magazines with the previous year's date and featuring a photograph of a supposedly famous actress called "Marilyn Monroe" who they've never heard of, etc. Gradually it becomes clear that the year is 1998, and a war is going on between Earth and its plucky underdog colonists on Mars. The hero is actually a senior military stategist who's suffered a psychotic breakdown; the military machine wants him to continue his war work, so they've preserved his stability by building a "Fifties" Fifties small town just like the town he grew up in, complete with friends and neighbours (some of whom have been given Fake Memories), where he and nearly everyone around him thinks that he's just playing and winning a newspaper competition, but in fact he's predicting Martian attacks.

Harvester is set during the decade, with the inventory saying Spring 1953. Communism is feared, several mothers are identical-looking housewives, and attitudes to gays and foreigners are negative. The game mocks the setting relentlessly, like it does with many other things.

Moral Orel has no set time period, but its characters are blatant '50s' stereotypes, a lot of '50s architecture and technology is present, and there's an omnipresent theme of hiding away your sins and mistakes.

The Hudsucker Proxy is set in the same indefinable period, in a sort of comic-book version of the Mad Men universe. Pneumatic Tubes are, in this version of an art deco metropolis, the dominant means of communication. The film centers around the creation of the classic '50s icon the hula hoop.

Dear Children takes place mostly in 2015, but Chapter 3 includes a short Nested Story set mostly in the mid-1950's, relating the depradations inflicted on Hearthbrook by The Crooked Saint. The flashback is however told to Gabe by two people who were probably born after those events, and presumably first heard the story from older friends or family member.

Clue. Earlier than most examples, as it was made in the mid-eighties, but the Fifties of the movie revolves around the post-WWII/early Cold War politics of that decade, which it plays for laughs.

Though the decade is never properly defined, Fido is set in a kind of alternate-history Fifties where a Zombie Apocalypse nearly wiped out humanity approximately twenty years before, and survivors live in fortress-like Stepford Suburbias surrounded by zombiefied wasteland.

School Ties is set in the fifties, as evidenced by the 'uncivilized' rock music the kids listen to (that to a modern ear sound extremely boring, but to their contemporary audiences were quite wild). Also there's the rampant antisemitism for that special period touch.

11/22/63, which tells the story of Jake Epping, a man from the 2010s who steps through a portal to 1958 in order to prevent the Kennedy assassination, is partly a supernatural thriller and partly a very well-researched history lesson about the time period, commenting on both the good and the bad (it helps that author Stephen King grew up during this decade and would've been a teenager when the assassination took place). On the positive side, Jake finds that the food tastes better, a little money goes a longer way, the cars are more luxurious, and people are generally more polite and trusting; on the negative side, the air stinks because of the pollution from unregulated factories and rampant smoking, blatant racism, homophobia and sexism is around every corner, and everyone lives in perpetual fear of nuclear war breaking out any day.

The Hour. Set in 1957-58 Britain, the Suez Crisis is the backdrop for season one, and the Cold War/Space Race is the backdrop for season two. The fashion runs the gamut from Marnie's stereotypical skirts and pearls and Hector's grey flannel suit to Lix's Katherine Hepburn suits and Freddie's beatnik look.

Stand by Me (set in 1959 and featuring an all-star soundtrack) attempts to do the same thing (mark the transition from The Fifties to the Sixties, from Innocence to Experience) on a smaller scale, reflecting the coming of age of four Maine Oregon youths (and the youths of director Rob Reiner and author Stephen King).

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Made in 2017, story begins in 1958. There's a bit of the Nostalgic Fifties too though, because being centred around New York City's generally privileged, urbanite Jewish families, the show doesn't always delve too much into the social or political milieu of the time; the cast are just as much depicted going through general everyday life and drama.

The Iron Giant is mainly a deconstruction of Fifties alien invasion movies, but it also has large dollops of nostalgia (the director was born in 1957, the year the movie was set) and delves into some of the issues of the day, particularly Cold War paranoia, as personified by Kent Mansley.

The Last Picture Show is bit more complicated than some on this list, in that it is both a rather bittersweet version of the period and one set unusually early (in 1951) which means it predates a lot of the standard decade tropes like rock 'n' roll or B-Movies. It's also set in a Dying Town in rural Texas, placing it at some remove from the middle-class "mainstream" of the era. (The teen characters listen to country and western songs and watch cowboy flicks!)

Superboy 1949 #171 (January 1971) saw his time era moved from being stuck in the 1930s to perpetually 15 or so years behind the then-present. Thus, 70s Superboy stories often featured nostalgic 1950s elements (Lana Lang interested in hula hoops, Clark pondering rock and roll, etc.).

One of the simulations used in Saints Row IV is Steelport set in this time. Bright, sunshiny, whimsical track. Driving is done safely, at the speed limit. And no swearing or violence. The game's base genre is crime Wide-Open Sandbox. No points for guessing what the Boss does when he/she is snapped out of it.

Mona Lisa Smile: Made in 2003, set in 1953. A feminist teacher gets a job teaching at a college of girls vying for an MRS Degree, and encourages them to be independent and defy the expectations of women in the era (which was to Stay in the Kitchen).

Mafia II plays in the '50s. It does however also show the dark sides of the '50s beyond Suburbia, like racial segregation, corruption, the black market, slums, and the Mafia. But hey, at least you can encounter every 1950s stereotype known to man:
The charming housewife returning from her local Piggly Wiggly (after visiting the opium house),
The friendly next-door neighbor with the tie and the suitcase who scratched your car the other day,
The friendly gas station attendant after robbing him and blowing up his petrol pump,
The greasy radio host who ends every sentence with "folks" and promotes cigarette smoking,
The no-nonsense, deep-voiced radio host who will piss off commies and promotes family values,
The old grumpy hag who runs the local diner and still has problems with fitting her hairnet,
The shoeshine guy who shines shoes,
The newspaper guy who begins and ends every sentence with "Extra!",
The good-hearted Irish police officer who will most likely shoot you on sight,
Those greasers who always hinder your black trade because you're in their territory, and
The bomber jacket-clad African-Americans who do the same thing, only on the other side of Hudson Bay Empire Bay.

"American Pie", written and recorded by Don McLean in 1971, is in part a nostalgic look back at the more innocent Rock & Roll music and culture of his youth in the 1950s... and, of course, memorializing Buddy Holly's plane crash in "The Day The Music Died".

Legion: Because the main character David Haller is an Unreliable Narrator due to being mentally ill, the series takes place in an Ambiguous Time Period. However, the Season 3 scenes which feature his biological parents, Charles Xavier (a World War II veteran) and his wife Gabrielle (a Romani Holocaust survivor), are set in the 1950s, which is corroborated by the fashion, hairstyles, décor and level of technology. As is the social norm for young married couples who want to start a family in that decade, they reside in Suburbia. Gabrielle is seen holding the 1955 children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon, which suggests that their infant son David was born in the same year.

Invasion! (2016): The aforementioned event in which few of the Legends and two of their Guest Star Party Members traveled to 1951. It coincides with the USAF's investigations of alleged UFO sightings during this time.

Spränga gränser by Solveig Olsson-Hultgren takes place in 1956. It has a Nostalgic Fifties look at the then current teenage culture, but the protagonist (Cecilia) is not a naive girl in a suburban paradise. Her mother is not a housewife, her father is almost out of work, and we also get a lot of Historical Fifties references to current events of the time.

Fellow Travelers: Released in 2023, the Flashback scenes in episodes 1-5 are set in 1952-1954, while episode 8's transpire in 1957. The past sequences in episode 6 that revolve around the early stage of Hawkins and Lucy Fuller's marriage must have occurred in the mid-1950s, but the exact year isn't specified.
