The year 1955 was a horrible year financially for MGM. Of all the films previewed or referenced here, only six made the studio any money: Love Me or Leave Me (1955), Interrupted Melody (1955), I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955), Bhowani Junction (1956), The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956) and Blackboard Jungle (1955). All the rest were huge flops, losing six and sometime seven figures at the box office. This year also marked the end of large MGM musical productions.
