Pioneering actress and filmmaker Ida Lupino (The Hitch-Hiker, The Bigamist) directed the controversial classic Outrage, which was one of the first Hollywood films of its era to tackle the subject of rape. Mala Powers (Cyrano de Bergerac, City That Never Sleeps) stars as Ann Walton, a young bookkeeper who is freshly engaged to her boyfriend, Jim Owens (Robert Clarke, The Man from Planet X). However, her promising life takes a dramatic turn when she is raped on her way home from work one evening. The trauma of the attack shatters her sense of identity and forces her to flee from home in shame.
Praised by Martin Scorsese as "a subdued behavioral 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 violence that women face with remarkable sensitivity. In 2020, Lupino's landmark achievement was deemed a "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" work of art and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
The film features the following special features:
• Restored in HD by Paramount Pictures – From a 4K Scan of the 35mm Fine Grain • NEW Audio Commentary by Film Historian Imogen Sara Smith • Optional English Subtitles
This powerful and groundbreaking film sheds light on the trauma experienced by victims of sexual assault, a topic that was rarely explored in mainstream cinema at the time. Lupino's sensitive and nuanced portrayal of the aftermath of the attack and its impact on the protagonist's life is a testament to her skill as a filmmaker and her commitment to addressing important social issues.
