520 "Dominated by men and bound by the restrictive Hays Code,
postwar Hollywood offered little support for a female
director who sought to make unique films on controversial
subjects. But Ida Lupino bucked the system, writing and
directing a string of movies that exposed the dark
underside of American society, on topics such as rape,
polio, unwed motherhood, bigamy, exploitative sports, and
serial murder. The first in-depth study devoted to
Lupino's directorial work, this book makes a strong case
for her as a trailblazing feminist auteur, a filmmaker
with a clear signature style and an abiding interest in
depicting the plights of postwar American women. Ida
Lupino, Director not only examines her work as a cinematic
auteur, but also offers a serious consideration of her
diverse and long-ranging career, getting her start in
Hollywood as an actress in her teens and twenties,
directing her first films in her early thirties, and later
working as an acclaimed director of television westerns,
sitcoms, and suspense dramas. It also demonstrates how
Lupino fused generic elements of film noir and the social
problem film to create a distinctive directorial style
that was both highly expressionistic and grittily
realistic. Ida Lupino, Director thus shines a long-awaited
spotlight on one of our greatest filmmakers"--|cProvided

520 "Ida Lupino, Director: Her Art and Resilience in Times of
Transition examines Lupino's directing in film and
television from the late 1940s through the 1960s,
revealing Lupino's feminism and authorship in her genre
hybrids, which comment critically on historical
constructions of gender in the United States"--|cProvided
