    Distributed in 1988, Tribute: Grand Ole Opry Stars of the Fifties is a collection of performances recorded in the min-1950s under the title Stars of the Grand Ole Opry. The original program was a collaboration between Chicago-based TV/movie producer Albert Gannaway and the Grand Ole Opry. Gannaway is recognized as one of the first to film live country music performances. Shot 35-mm Technicolor, Stars of the Grand Ole Opry was a 30-minute program syndicated for broadcast on television beginning in 1955. The program featured different country acts and a rotating cast of Opry stars as the show's host. In this screening, Marty Robbins hosts with performances by June Carter, Little Jimmy Dickens, Webb Pierce, Carl Smith, Ernest Tubb, Kitty Wells, and others.
