For spectators who followed new developments in cinema, the second half of the 1950s became years of increasing excitement and anticipation. Not until the late 1920s, when films by Pudovkin, Dovzhenko and others began to arrive from the Soviet Union, had there been such a sense of renewal in the medium. Filmgoers in the US also began to participate in the international art cinema movement; though American audiences had previously been given few opportunities to see foreign films in the country’s Hollywood-dominated theatres, the breakup of the studio system and declines in Hollywood production during the 1950s led a number of theatres in cities to become art houses playing new and classical work from overseas. Viewing the films of Bergman, Fellini and others, a growing number of Americans learned to regard cinema as a serious form of art.
