  1. A brave film, showing what rape does to a person. I am not too famillar with Mala Powers, but what a performance! Kudos to Ida Lupino for making this film, and exploring a controversial subject no one would touch.

  2. I think u gotta appreciate Ida Lupino to appreciate this film. Good on you I.L. for your direction, dramatic as it was. It's your style and I bow to the memory of you!

  3. Ida lupino, What an artist! … A genius for deeper elements. And she could fit right into " I Love Lucy" perfectly. Thanks for your sharing these.

  4. Thank you for the upload. I have 2 observations though:
    i) I don't think the tittle "Outrage" is quite fitting
    ii) The movie kicks-off nicely but then, instead of gaining momentum, the pace slows down, dragging its feet to the end.

  5. I continue to find the movies directed by Ida Lupino very interesting. This would not have been a big box office hit, but it was still a pretty good movie. The abrupt change from the focus on the victim to the need for more prison rehabilitation programs near the end wasn't what I was expecting, and was glad when the focus again returned to Ann. Can't help but wish Ann would have stayed with Doc in that beautiful little town with all the oranges.

  6. Ida was ahead of her time, lots of shadow and light in close shots, bringing out the darkness in character, she really was so talented director, to use such controversial subject matter in 1950 is so commendable, its about time she get the recognition she deserves

  7. What I don't understand is why this woman kept running towards remote locations such as the alley where she was ultimately attacked, or the hillside where Jerry Helper tried to kiss her instead of running towards the main street in town, or the people at the dance?

  8. NOOOO ! Horrible ending !
    I was expecting the bus to pull away & she'd still be there with him.
    Why didn't she stay with him ? They loved each other… He was better than the first guy.

  9. I'm up to 13.15 and it already sucks. Why was she walking alone? Where was she going ?And how did she know it wasn't a friend ? Why did she fall ? And why the tears, before anything happened ? Lupino failed on this one.  Caio
