The Women Who Wrote Noir“I never met Ida Lupino, but I always wanted to,” wrote Martin Scorsese in the New York Times in 1995. “The six films she directed between 1949 and 1953 are remarkable chamber pieces that deal with challenging subjects in a clear, almost documentary fashion, and are a singular achievement in American cinema.”By David Hudsoncriterion.com/current/posts/93#books #literature #roman_noir #movies #culture

Photo of Ida Lupino from an appearance on the radio program Cavalcade of America. A glamorous black-and-white studio portrait of a woman with short, curly, light-tinted hair and dark lipstick, gazing off to the side. She wears jeweled earrings, a small cross necklace and a white V-neck top with a bold printed pattern, before a shimmering sequined backdrop.

@gutenberg_org Really poor article. Headline about Ida Lupino, but only two of the six films she directed are mentioned and then the article diverges to other film noir. Get a better sense of who she was, plus information about the other four, from Wikipedia.
