Preface Acknowledgments Note on Quotations Part I. Therese Grisham and Julie Grossman's thoughtful study sheds a welcome light on an oeuvre that has been too long obscured. They present Lupino broadly as a pioneer independent moviemaker and director., Exactly the serious study Ida Lupino deserves, this superb book sketches her directing career against larger developments in postwar Hollywood, demonstrating her feminist impact on a changing industry., One of Hollywood's few female directors, Ida Lupino was a true maverick, making movies with the same steely determination and emotional sensitivity that characterized her work as an actor. Grisham and Grossman do not consider their subject narrowly as a woman filmmaker. Grisham and Grossman's sensitive study, informed by thorough research and new paradigms, provides a welcome corrective., landmark study of this underrecognized director. Cineastes will be delighted by this dazzling, well written, and comprehensive book., Low budget, unheralded and genre bending, Lupino's work has never received its full due. Grossman and Grisham's book is an urgently needed and long overdue reclamation of the directorial work of Ida Lupino, one of the most significant auteurs of the twentieth century.
