“Ida Lupinou0026#39;s place in Hollywood film history is so unique and unusual that itu0026#39;s no wonder there is a general tendency to overate her output as a director Her moving from actress to director with great control over content was virtually unprecedented.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough Lupino is not really an especially innovative or important director, (would that she were), she most certainly was a very competent film maker and as such should be remembered.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Yound Loversu0026quot; of u0026quot;Never Fearu0026quot; is a case in point. There is a lot going for this movie. The decidedly B cast of Sally Forest, Keefe Brasselle and Hugh Ou0026#39;Brian are completely convincing and turn in strong performances. This story too, is involving and moving making this all in all \ very watchable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe problem is Lupinou0026#39;s lack of cinematic style. Thereu0026#39;s little chance you could spot that this was a Lupino work as you may do with Sirt, Siodamak. Lang, Mann and others of note.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStill, she was an important figure and her movies should be watched.”
