According to GURPS Atomic Horror, the majority of '50s SF with aliens had them as either threats or menaces. (Backing that up, the only '50s SF movie I can think of that had anything resembling a benevolent alien was The Day the Earth Stood Still, and I've watched dozens of '50s SF movies.)

So it's safe to assume that this timeline would have a different selection of visual entertainment.
