How to make a film feel like the fifties?

I am going to enter into this film fest, and I want to do something that has a 50’s sitcom vibe.
I want it to be in black and white, but I don’t really know how else to make it seem like it’s from the fifties.

Any suggestions on story ideas and other ways to make it seem older would be greatly appreciated.

PS. The film can only be like 5 minutes long, so it won’t be a half hour type story

    Use props from that time
    use music from the 50’s as the soundtrack
    Watch lots of tv shows and movies from the 50’s to observe the dialogue
    @averystratford good suggestion, that will help nicely
