Events

March 5 – For the first time since coming home from military service in Germany, Elvis Presley returns to Hollywood to film G.I. Blues
June 16 – Premiere of Alfred Hitchcock's landmark film, Psycho in the United States. Controversial since release, it sets new standards in violence and sexuality on screen, and is a critical influence on the emerging slasher genre.
August 5 - Mughal-e-Azam, produced and directed by K. Asif and starring Prithviraj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Madhubala, and Durga Khote, premieres at the Maratha Mandir in Mumbai. Production was plagued by delays and financial uncertainty. Before its principal photography began in the early 1950s, the project had lost a financier and undergone a complete change of cast. Mughal-e-Azam cost more to produce than any previous Indian motion picture. it broke box office records in India and became the highest-grossing Indian film, a distinction it held for 15 years. The film is widely considered to be a milestone for its genre, earning praise from critics for its grandeur and attention to detail, and the performances of its cast (especially that of Madhubala, who earned a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress).
August 10 – Filming of West Side Story begins.
October 6 & December 16 – Dalton Trumbo, one of the Hollywood Ten, receives full screenwriting credit for his work on the films Spartacus and Exodus , released in the United States on these dates.
October 27 – Film Saturday Night and Sunday Morning released, first of the British social-realist wave.
November 4 – Filming wraps on The Misfits , starring Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, the last film for both (though Monroe will be working on another at the time of her death).
