Three By Ida Lupino

Classical Hollywood’s first actress-turned-director, Ida Lupino is mostly known for her social-problem pictures, but she created a wide variety of work from film noir to melodrama— here we present three new restorations of exemplary films from her remarkable career. “People are tired of having the wool pulled over their eyes. They pay out good money for their theatre tickets and they want something in return. They want realism. And you can’t be realistic with the same glamorous mugs on the screen all the time.”—Ida Lupino
