IDA LUPINO, FORGOTTEN AUTEUR: FROM FILM NOIR TO THE DIRECTOR'S CHAIR
Ida Lupino, Forgotten Auteur: From Film Noir to the Director's Chair Hardcover ā December 10, 2024 by Alexandra Seros (Author) An archival study of Ida Lupinoās work in film and television directing, writing, producing, and acting from the 1940s to the 1970s. Though her acting career is well known, Ida Lupino was, until very recently, either unknown or overlooked as an influential director. One of the few female directors in Classical Hollywood, Lupino was the only woman with membership in the Directors Guild of America between 1948 and 1971. Her films were about women without power in society and engaged with highly controversial topics despite Hollywoodās strict production code. Working in a male-dominated field, Lupino was forced to manage her public persona carefully, resisting attempts by the press to paint her solely as a dutiful wife and motherāa continual feminizationājust so that she could continue directing.
Filmmaker Alexandra Seros retells the story of Ida Lupinoās career, from actor to director, first in film, then in television, using archival materials from collections housed around the world. The result provides rich insights into three of Lupinoās independently directed films and a number of episodes from her vast television oeuvre. Seros contextualizes this analysis with discussions of gendered labor in the film industry, the rise of consumerism in the United States after World War II, and the expectations put on women in their family lives during the postwar era. Serosās portrait of Lupino ultimately paints her life and career as an exemplar of collaborative auteurship.
About the Author Alexandra Seros is a working screenwriter and PhD. She is currently working with UCLA to preserve film and early television movies directed and written by Ida Lupino.
