Being a sci-fi geek, I first became "aware" of Ms Lupino many years ago as the only woman to have directed an episode of "The Twilight Zone". After that I made a point of looking for her work.

She was a really talented director suited to film noir. I saw two of her movies on TCM this week - Outrage and The Hitch-hiker. I think they also ran High Sierra but I missed it. She was a real pioneer and a champion for women behind the camera. As I recall, when she was admitted to the Director's Guild she was one of only two women members.
