Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan? In the same movie? And Ward Bond, too? Also co-directed by Nicholas Ray and our girl Ida? Resulting in filmdom’s first frozen film nor? We can have such things? Yes, please. And thank you!
This post was one of my meager contributions to The Ida Lupino Blogathon (2011) hosted by The Miss Ida Lupino fan page, a well-worth-your-while shrine to one of my favorite actresses that is sadly no longer with us. Still, my Ida love knows no bounds, and I hope you will enjoy this humble retrospective. Thanks!
