Bit crazy to think that (mainstream) color film had been around for 14-24 years when these films were made. Would be interesting to see how the overall color/b&w ratio of all films released in the 50s relates to the ratio in the toplist here.
I'm sure the ratio of color films here is significantly higher than the ratio for all films; color was still pretty uncommon everywhere at the beginning of the decade*, and really only starting to be the norm in the US and Japan by the end of the decade, maybe a couple of other wealthy & technically advanced countries. Even so I doubt the numbers approached 50% anywhere - but where they were high was in the more expensive productions which are to a great extent the ones that get remembered, and show up here. For every
Vertigo or
The Searchers or
Ballad of Narayama there are dozens of cheaper noirs, westerns, and period dramas that were almost all in b/w.
*Except, as can obviously be seen here, in American cartoons.

Yeah, I was aware that the cost/budget was a big factor, but didn't realize it still had that much impact in the 50s. Thanks for the insights though!

I tried to sit through "Written on the Wind" and wasn't up to the challenge. That one was agony for me.
