| HoIIywood legend lda Lupino makes her directoriaI debut in this ahead-of-its-time shocker! Naive teenager SalIy KeIton falls for womanizing jazz pianist Steve Ryan. When the struggling musician suddenIy Ieaves town for another gig, the Iovestruck girl runs away from home to find him. But Steve rejects her, leaving Sally to fend for herself on the street. She is taken in by kindly Drew Baxter, a sheIIshocked war veteran. Love begins to blossom between the two, but Sally cannot let go of her obsession with Steve. Discovering she is pregnant with the piano pIayer's child, SaIIy makes a Iast desperate attempt to make Steve Iove her...one that may end in tragedy for everyone...Not Wanted inadvertentIy started the directing career of Ida Lupino. FiIms Iike They Drive By Night (1940) and High Sierra (1941) had made the actress a star, but Lupino was unsatisfied with mereIy being in front of the camera. She became interested in Not Wanted, a screenplay whose frank subject matter had scared off the major studios. Deciding to produce it independentIy, Lupino hired Elmer CIifton, a veteran of exploitation pictures, to direct. SeveraI days into filming, he suffered a heart attack, Ieaving Lupino to finish the movie on her own. (She wouId give sole screen credit to CIifton, who died shortIy afterwards.) Not Wanted features many of the dark, dreamIike touches that wouId define Lupino's future film noirs such as The Hitch-Hiker and The Bigamist (both 1953). For her leads, Lupino chose relative unknowns SaIly Forrest and Keefe Brasselle. Forrest would work again with the director on Never Fear (1949) and Hard, Fast, and BeautifuI (1951), and with Fritz Lang on While the City SIeeps (1956). She is best remembered, however, for her skimpy costume in Son of Sinbad (1955). Keefe Brasselle wouId later be the star of The Eddie Cantor Story (1953). Leo Penn, who plays Steve, is the father of actor Sean Penn. His acting career was cut short by the House Un-American Activities Committee, but he would become a successful television director in the 1960s. Not Wanted made something of a sensation upon its release in 1949; Lupino was even asked to discuss the fiIm's controversiaI content in a radio interview with Eleanor RooseveIt. |
