Help! What do I need for this type of photography?

The specific film's color reproduction and a lens to match, from the 50's.

... find a PS filter that imitates it.
 
First don't use a wide angle lens on people (I'll bet that that lady's noise wasn't that big in life). If you use post 70's equipment then I'd say to get something in the 85mm range and the faster the better. You'll notice that the fence behind her is going out of focus as well.

Second, I wouldn't worry too much about getting older lenses as the big difference is whether or not they're coated. The first shot seems to me to have been taken with a coated lens. If you want to shoot with period lenses be my guest but wanting to is a horse of a different color.

Third, just like in real estate, location, location, location. ;)
