1950s poster design

During my sesson with Julie she discussed 50 poster design resources through google. Google bring up a lot of search results up but not always the best first, it takes a lot of
time to get solid resources. But I looked around and heres some of the sites and images that caught my eye.

(This site has a mass of movie posters, mainly american, a real mixture, some early japanese movie posters).
Some examples:

(scroll to the bottom for links to 1950s hollywood magazine covers and poster design, very hollywood, but still clearly 1950s).
Some examples














http://www.vintage-movie-poster.com/PostersHorrorSciFi.htm
( More 1950s movie posters, multiple poster designs for movies, not just one version).
Some examples.
















I think I've found some good examples even with google. What do they all have in common appart from being American, bold strong typefaces, illustrative images (almost grainy as well) and no limit on colours.
