	Ida Lupino
		As a film actress, Ida Lupino was known as the "Queen of the B's" and "the poor man's Bette Davis" because of the tough-dame parts she played.
		Lupino wanted creative control to shape her own film projects, this at a time when only a couple of women had ever directed a motion picture and few women were taken seriously at all in the business.
		Lupino wanted the show to have a ring of truth to it, exagerated slightly for comic effect; the result was a hilarious and stylish sitcom, a wonderful send-up of Hollywood in the Fifties - that golden time when women were are dolled up even when there was no place to go.

	Lupino, Ida
		This figure of Lupino as a "female Hitch," whose nomenclature suggests the freedom to call her own shots and her status as auteur, is rather misleading within the context of the U.S. television industry, whose creative efforts are shaped and controlled almost exclusively by producers rather than by directors.
		Although Ida Lupino was the first (and perhaps only) woman director during the early years of American television production, it is odd that she is rarely referenced as a "ground breaker" for other women entering the industry.
		To contextualize Lupino's role as a director in relation to other women working contemporaneously as producers is not meant to suggest, however, that a critical analysis of Lupino's work is irrelevant to television history and feminist inquiry.

	Ida Lupino's The Hitch-Hiker
		Ida Lupino wrote and directed this one, an unusual thing for a woman in 1953, even though this was her fourth or fifth film as a director in the masculine world of the B-movie thriller.
		Lupino sticks (mostly) to a single time and space, which can be applauded as artistic, but like most neo-realist films, is actually a condition of economics.
		Ida Lupino produced and wrote five or so films for her production company Filmakers [founded with her second husband Collier Young], then went into contract TV drama, directing and writing for such shows as General Electric Theatre, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rifleman, 77 Sunset Strip, The Twilight Zone...

	Museum of Lone Pine Film History: IDA LUPINO HITS CAREER "GOLD" TWICE IN LONE PINE
		Ida Lupino, the only female director of any significance working in the 50's, decided she wanted to make a film based on Cook's life.
		Ida Lupino was not one to be easily dissuaded, and once having gotten both the kidnapped hunters' permission, and even Billy Cook's rights to do the film, she continued to work on the project.
		Ida and her partner, ex-husband Collier Young, argued, "We first became interested in the subject due to the compelling nature of the moral and religious experiences of their captivity." Still, the answer came back negative and Ida Lupino had to fictionalize the account and leave out Cook's name and exact crimes.

	WIFP - Directors - Ida Lupino
		Ida Lupino was born on February 4, 1914 in London.
		Lupino had trouble finding acting work in the mid-1940s (due to an 18-month suspension) and turned to directing, not only to find work but also to take control over her career.
		Even though Lupino herself seemed to agree with the gender role conventions of the times (saying in one interview that she would rather be home cooking dinner for her man than directing), one only needs to look at what she accomplished to see that she did not wholeheartedly agree with the traditional role of women.

		If you were lucky enough to be able to interview Ida Lupino in the days when she was still giving interviews, but were unlucky enough to broach the question of feminism, she would have lashed out at you with something like, "Any woman who wishes to smash into the world of men isn't very feminine.
		Lupino was a woman working in a man's job at a time when it was a great societal faux pas to take a job away from a man. It makes great sense that she "didn't like the company of other women," as she so unashamedly proclaimed.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Ida Lupino: The Hitch-hiker
		Lupino had been in the industry since 1933 and had insider savvy, turning her acting fortunes around by snatching the role of Bessie in The Light That Failed from under Vivien Leigh’s nose in 1939, running an independent production facility from 1949, while continuing to act until 1978.
		What remains exciting is how her films seemed to embody the music of chance, circumstance, and creativity that Bazin dubbed "the genius of the system." The evidence of her peers and the evidence on screen bear out what was rash about high auteurism, for here was a vision shaped in the crucible of history.
		Lupino’s directed works are marked by the narrative drive and no-nonsense visuals associated with these directors.

		Ida Lupino did her supernatural best with the retread jobs she was given to do, (check her out in "High Sierra" or "The Hard Way" or any movie she had to make with Joan Leslie, for example) but her meatiest characters were usually offered to her on loan-out.
		But even as she was delivering some of her finest performances, Lupino had her eye on a director's hat and although she wore it most often on television, she also made seven theatrical features as a director, producer, writer & sometimes all three.
