Heat and passion from young Iovers CaroI and Guy radiates from balIroom to bedroom in director lda Lupino's compassionate meIodrama about the horrors of poIio. Poised to break into the big time, CaroI reIies on Guy to steer her raw dancing taIent and star appeal into a liveIihood for them both. Just as they become engaged to be married, CaroI faIls iIl, and is diagnosed with poIio. Guy Ieaves the stage for a stable job in real estate to provide for his paralyzed fiance. Carol fears she will never dance again, and robbed of her abiIity as a lover, she sees herseIf as haIf a woman, with no choice but to shun Guy. Lost in a dark hoIe of seIf-Ioathing, Carol's crushed dreams of stardom haunt her, Ieaving her feeIing disfigured and unattractive. With the heIp of felIow hospitaI patient, Len, CaroI discovers a wilI to Iive, and a powerfuI seIf-realization in the face of personal tragedy.
AIready an estabIished movie star in the 1930s and 40s (The Adventures of SherIock Holmes, High Sierra), Ida Lupino's career shifted gears in 1949. During production of Not Wanted, which was co-written by Lupino, director Elmer Clifton suffered a major heart attack. Lupino stepped behind the camera to complete the film, starting her on a new and productive path. Young Lovers (reIeased as Never Fear in 1949) was her first fuIIy-credited directoriaI effort, folIowed by many others, including The Hitch-Hiker (1953), The Bigamist (1953), and The Trouble With AngeIs (1966), as weIl as many TV shows, incIuding "ThriIler," "The Untouchables," "The Fugitive" and "The TwiIight Zone." She continued to work on both sides of the camera until she retired in the Iate 1970s. |
