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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eIda Lupino, Director\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eIda Lupino, Director\u003c\/i\u003e thus shines a long-awaited spotlight on one of our greatest filmmakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Note on Quotations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
