These Ida Lupino short movies are terrific- the whole series of them.

She was GREAT............as well a top director....the first woman to do it

No leni rephanstahl was (forgive my misspelling)

@@waynegray5568 From 1927 until 1943, Dorothy Arzner was the only woman director working in Hollywood. First woman to direct a film noir, Ida Lupino, is widely regarded as the most prominent female filmmaker working in the 1950s during the Hollywood studio system. There were many more women directors if we look at the era of silent films.

Ida Lupino is a role model for women wanting to get a head in Hollywood. She was tough and didn't take much guff.

[@None-zc5vg]

Neither did Lucille Ball

[@michaelwertzy9808]

I hope you mean get "ahead" !

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

You might mean "get ahead" ... not so much "get a head" ... Good luck.

Great small TV psycho thriller. Lupino at the top of her acting powers.

[@dianalee8967]

I like Ida Lupino I like anything she does the only thing it was so short I was disappointed but it wasn't supposed to be a full length movie I guess but she couldn't go wrong with any things that she does thank you

[@mauricestanley6859]

I love Ida! Thanks BT!!

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Thanks for this! I always check out films starring Ida Lupino, because there is a chance that it will be a good one, such as this!!

[@Vps-eb7ej]

Dang, that Ida Lupino can sure kiss!

Arthur Franz, actor, (February 29, 1920 - June 17, 2006) During World War II, Franz served as a B-24 Liberator navigator in the United States Army Air Forces. He was shot down over Romania and incarcerated in a POW camp, from which he later escaped.

[@doreekaplan2589]

In her time was she recognized by the industry or the public like she deserved? Husband Howard was also GREAT including as Sam Spade on radio shows

[@SM-gl8yo]

Ida Lupino: Beautiful, classy girl.

[@Papa-o33963]

Yes indeed n incredibly talented.

[@berylbattrick1246]

Good movie, thank you.

[@NancyDrewe]

Thanks, BT. This was really good. Hope you have a blessed and happy Christmas holiday. ❤️

Thank you! and merry Christmas to you @NancyDrewe

This was a 1955 television-film produced by the Four Star company with which Ida Lupino was involved.

[@gus3247365]

Good movie .. Enjoyed it .

[@izasana47]

I love Midsomer Murders theme song with the theremin and aside from the great acting and story, got to listen to a bunch of weird theremin effects. They fascinate me because you don't touch a theremin, watch the woman playing Midsomer Murders theme. She moves her hands around and doesn't touch anything. Been hearing quite a lot of theremin music because I've been binge watching old movies. When they couldn't depend on special effects and actually had to write a story and not depend on action and special effects. You can see her perform it on KZbin. She's a talented woman.

[@scallopohare9431]

Thank you.

Originally telecast on "FOUR STAR PLAYHOUSE" on November 24, 1955.

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Can you tell me where this movie is located in your playlist, because I did not see it.

[@jamespetersen3933]

Ida Lupino with Humphrey Bogart in High Sierra.

[@Papa-o33963]

Yes indeed brother, great movie

[@ZENmud]

Ida Lupino if Sheda luponme ...

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Ha ha As soon as she found out that he was very rich, she was interested!! 😆😂

[@kennithumperovitch1312]

What the heck is that a hotel? I stay in an apartment that could easily fit in the bedroom of Ann's bedroom.

[@dancelli714]

Way over the top. But it was IDA.

[@virnamisra1657]

Working Woman Dr Virna Pandey. &. The looking glass house 👞👞♂️♂️. A CERTAIN DIFFERENCE. IN REPLY

[@michaelwertzy9808]

Somewhat beneath Ida's talents. INMHO

[@dancelli714]

There are other ones in the series which are more believable, but not this one.

[@None-zc5vg]

@@dancelli714 A lot of this old t.v. stuff was typically strongly cast but poorly scripted (as was "The Twilight Zone").

[@nightrider12soul]

Like Rebeca by Hitchcock .

[@calvincollins6803]

A great little flicker show. ☆☆☆. Thanks Broken Trout.

[@BrokenTrout]

Thank you Calvin, I appreciate it. @Calvin Collins

[@dianeharbour4774]

Love this look, the actors, period of time absolutely everything about this movie!

[@mscir]

Interesting, thanks BT.

[@BrokenTrout]

Thanks for watching @Mike S

[@chicagogyrl4846]

When she opened the closet door, and part of the dress flew out, I thought she opened a door to the outside!! 😆 And I also think she looks much better with the different makeup job and hairstyle, as in her photograph!

[@allegra0]

It was rather spooky. This short film has some parallels to Hitchcock’s “Rebecca”

[@JMacque]

I love the way they filmed him when he was shifting out of reality. Thanks BT

[@acastrohowell]

Soap operas are my favorites 🎉

[@yodservant]

They broke the spell ....!!

[@cheryldevine42]

SPOILER.........don't read if you dont want to know the ending!!Hahaaa! This was good. I love Ida Lupino! But the script made me laugh. Who slaps their first wife silly, tell her he wishes she was dead, kills her, acts like a lunatic then snaps out of it in a minute with the new sympathetic woman? But I loved it and thanks for posting it!
