CASCADIA presents a special showing of the documentary, “Ida Lupino: Gentlemen & Miss Lupino,” online March 11-20 in observance of Women's History Month and International Women's Day.
The 53-minute film profiles the legendary Ida Lupino who directed 42 films in addition to her acting career. Became the second woman (after director Dorothy Arzner) to join the Director’s Guild of America. Directed by sisters Julia and Clara Kuperberg.
Synopsis: Ida Lupino, the only woman immersed in the heart of a masculine Hollywood, is not only the film noir actress who replicates Bogart, she is above all a great director that history has forgotten. Since the late 1940s, she is the most prolific filmmaker that Hollywood has known until today. She brought to the screen subjects that the studios did not even dare to tackle; rape, abortion, and bigamy, in puritan America.
When Ida Lupino joined the Director Guild of America, the powerful directors’ union, the sessions opened with this now-famous phrase: “Gentlemen & Miss Lupino”. She was the only woman in the union’s 1300 members at the time.
