Not Wanted

(1949) dir Ida Lupino, Elmer Clifton w/Sally Forrest, Keefe Brasselle, Leo Penn [91 min, DCP] 

In 1948, legendary screen actress Ida Lupino left Warner Bros. to co-found The Filmmakers, an independent production company conceived as an alternative to the dominant aesthetics of Hollywood. With the low-key, intimate NOT WANTED, Lupino tackled the taboo topic of out-of-wedlock pregnancy, immediately venturing into terrain where big-budget mainstream fantasy-spinners feared to tread.

A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 7:30 PM screening of THE HITCH-HIKER. No additional purchase is necessary.
