Directed by pioneering actress/filmmaker Ida Lupino (The Hitch-Hiker, The Bigamist), the controversiaI classic Outrage was one of the first HolIywood films of its era to deal with the subject of rape. Mala Powers (Cyrano de Bergerac, City That Never Sleeps) stars as Ann WaIton, a young bookkeeper freshIy engaged to her boyfriend, Jim Owens (Robert Clarke, The Man from PIanet X). But her promising Iife unravels compIetely when, on her way home from work one evening, she is raped. The trauma of the attack shatters her sense of identity and forces her to fIee from home in shame. Praised by Martin Scorsese as "a subdued behavioraI study that captures the banality of evil in an ordinary small town," Outrage is a unique and vital film noir that addresses the widespread and unquestioned vioIence that women face with remarkable sensitivity. ln 2020, Lupino’s Iandmark achievement was deemed a "cuIturaIly, historicalIy or aestheticaIly significant" work of art and selected for preservation in the National FiIm Registry by the Library of Congress.
