Maybe there are those who would’ve preferred a more realistic, filmed on-location movie over the Brooklyn docks via a soundstage that OUT OF THE FOG offers, but to them I say "bring on the fog machines" and dreamy imagery of cinematographer James Wong Howe. FULL REVIEW: comicon.com/2025/11/25/i...

Ida Lupino between Donald Woods and Preston Foster in “Sea Devils” (RKO 1937)—“thrilling drama of adventure and romance in the lives of the U.S. Coast Guards.”

Forgot to mention I watched Warner Archives new Blu-ray of Out of the Fog (1941) last night. It is a terrific, noir-infused social drama with a fantastic cast including Ida Lupino, John Garfield, Thomas Mitchell, and John Qualen.

A quick Sally Forrest (1928-2015) appreciation post. The face and the name seem very familiar, and now I know why. Ms. Forrest starred in several of Ida Lupino directed films: Hard, Fast and Beautiful, Never Fear and Not Wanted.

Ida Lupino co-starred as Steve McQueen’s mother in “Junior Bonner” (1972). She was only 12 years older than McQueen, but said she liked the role so much she would have been happy to play his grandmother.

Favorite musical performance in a #FilmNoir ~ IDA LUPINO has a very unique style playing piano and singing One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) in ROAD HOUSE (1948)
After Ida sings, Celeste Holm says
"She does more without a voice than anybody I've ever heard"
