With director George Stevens, Newman composed the memorable score to The Diary of Anne Frank (1959). Newman continued to wear many hats at Fox, being musical supervisor, conductor, and orchestrator for many Rodgers and Hammerstein productions including Carousel (1956), The King and I (1956), South Pacific (1958) and Flower Drum Song (1961). He also scored the drama Anastasia (1956). He scored the romantic drama Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955), which is most known for the hit title song (by Sammy Fain, Paul Francis Webster). He returned to several familiar faces being the conductor/music supervisor for another Berlin production There's No Business Like Show Business (1954) and scoring another Marilyn Monroe film, The Seven Year Itch (1955). He also collaborated with composer Bernard Herrmann for the blood-and-sandal film The Egyptian. He teamed up with composer Irving Berlin as music director and music supervisor for Call Me Madam (1953).
For ' Millionaire', Newman even stepped in front of the camera as a conductor, something he also did in a few films in the 30's.

The first films used with this new fanfare were How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and the biblical epic The Robe (1953). In 1953, Newman added a few seconds onto the Fox Fanfare for the CinemaScope extension. One can say something about his career in Hollywood when he scored the remake of The Prisoner of Zenda (1952), some 15 years earlier. He scored such films as All About Eve (1950), David and Bathsheba (1951), and With a Song in My Heart (1952). The 1950s saw Newman arranging and musical directing more, especially as musical adaptations continued – notably the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals.
