Outrage (1950)

Outrage (1950) is a powerful woman's social message rape-discussing drama film noir from Ida Lupino, the undoubted quintessential queentessence of noir and lady noir and women's noir and femme-noir, and all things that do resolve upon the maximum that may be said of this gender and sex in the medium we best adore, and medium that best expresses the century. 

The fact is and was that America in 1950 was so neck-deep in a formal misogyny which allowed casual sexism to flourish in every look and leer, and in which even the children wolf whistle the older women.

Crashout (1955)

Crashout (1955) is a prison break gang-on-the-run rebel romance home invasion film noir from when the prison break gang-on-the-run rebel romance home invasion film noir was at its most popular as a style.

The breakout gang bossed over by the man with the knowledge of the stash in Crashout, the wounded William Bendix starts with six members — no need to guess how many there are at the end.

The gang is a sharp slice of actors of the film noir style, playing thug-jawed mooks and hardened cons, one with psychotic tendencies, and one who is the golden hearted con, in stir for the murder he didn't mean to commit — an Arthur Kennedy of a con — and ready to fall in love.
