Ida Lupino great achievement as a Director A very good actress too...very ahead of Her time... Yes "'great film"'''..... Love her sensibility and intelligent talent...She shined in every film she did ; a s an actress and a s a Director......it will be nice to see a few Ida Lupinos in our times 2019?????...the films of today lack Humanity and human values of all kinds ... Congratulation for this Wonderful film......Thank you !!!!!!.....
Kurt Burgess, did it occur to you that "fansofidalupino" has done us a favor by using code to identify the movie? Otherwise, the movie could easily be deleted by the YT copyright sweepers. If you are a fan of I.L., you can take a few seconds to start the movie to learn the title.
Very good story. God will always give a second chance to anyone with hardship problems, problems that often happened to us when young and inexperience of life. Never give up and be no hurry to blame here or there. It will end, time will tell.CHEERIO! 🙂
One of those incredibly elusive films that I never thought I'd be able to see, and I somehow "bump" into it!!! And it ended up being another real gem from the sadly underrated Ida Lupino!!! Thank you!!!
"heatherglen33" what is your obsession with Ida Lupino and insulting her on every one of her videos? Did she steal your boyfriend 100 years ago? If you don't like her why are you here?
one of my friends was adopted, he was born in mid 60s. I think this movie tells the story of his birth mother. Although my friend was adopted by a very wealthy family, he always felt something in his life was missing. More dramatic, he met a girl who was pregnant but refused to give up her child for adoption. so he married her and adopted her baby. this happened in late 80s. I always thought his action had something to do with his own adoption.. . perhaps he wished his birth mother didn't give him up... he finally managed to find his birth mother, she was very ill and soon passed away, they did not have much time together, but I guess some of his puzzles were solved so he could move on
Ida Lupino directed a lot of good movies. The 'Hitch Hiker" is my favorite. She was directing movies with socially sensitive topics while her male counterparts were making "shoot em up" westerns. I never knew she was British, but I m sure that is why her movies were different from the usual Hollywood themes. She was a multi-talented woman -- a writer, actress, singer, and a dancer. There has been no other woman in Hollywood that can come close to her achievements. Too bad there weren't more like her.
I believe her family had been in England for generations, so would have probably assimilated into the English population. My mother's maiden name was Ryan but her parents weren't Irish, and she never even thought about it. It's not quite the same as in the USA - We don't tend to base ethnicity on surnames so much.
Ida Lupino was fantastic talent and a humble artist. I think one of the major problems facing female artists today is that feminist leaders demand that all work performed by women must conform to their socialist ideals. Any deviation from the message of the day is met with severe condemnation and ostracization. Women are simply not permitted to express themselves as individuals. So there is very little space in which an artist could breathe.
FOR YOU YOUNG LADIES OUT THERE BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED TOGETHER UNTIL YOU MEET THE RIGHT MAN AND MARRY HIM. THEN, AFTER THAT YOU CAN OPEN YOUR LEGS.
This film so truly depicted the social stigma of an unmarried mother in this era. Her fear and shame was real to her because of the attitude of society, that is why she kept running until true love won in the end. Thanks for sharing this great emotion filled film.
The opening credits sequence was shot in the now-vanished Bunker Hill area of Los Angeles. The same steeply-sloping streets is used in location-footage used in "Shockproof" (1949).
Nice of her to get out her thoughts fully furnished and get four walls and a ceiling without any immediately from him. .... Long disappearances of fantasies instantly
As a father of kids I always find it strange when I watch a US movie about newly born babies in hospital and it doesn't matter which era the movie was made in. There is always a part where people look through a window at the baby. I have never seen this is the UK whenever I visited the maternity ward. We do go and melt over the baby and burble on about its miniature digits etc but not from behind a screen. As for the questions raised about this movie's overstatement that is totally untrue. It was the end of the world to be unmarried and pregnant in the 50's the social stigma and pressures were immense. I dread to think about what it was like in the 40's.
+jack freeman The fifties was probably the worse repressed period. I do not know what they did in the forties probably adopted babies like Loretta Young did when she had Clark Gables child. People are people. I hated being a small kid in the fifties it was what I called so fake repressed little white gloves god love the first sexual revolution flappers then the second the hippies. I often wondered what the flappers did to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies. Today, people do not understand the stigma attached to being an unwed mother. Of course in the middle east you are stoned to death.

+Martha Nelson I Agree about the 50's. I grew up in the 50's also. We were taught that there were "Good girls" and "Bad girls", nothing in between. My daughter jokes about the "Little white gloves" mentality of the 50's. It was not a good decade for women. I'll have to admit though, I do think that the pendulum has swung a little to far in the other direction. Lol!
Security in baby wards has been beefed up because of the risk of stolen babies. When our granddaughter was born, our son-in-law was given a badge in order to identify him and allow him into the nursery to hold his daughter. We were not allowed in the nursery, but as you indicated, had to stay outside and watch through a plate glass window. Times do not always change for the better; kidnappings of babies in hospital nurseries has increased dramatically in recent decades, most likely because of so many abortions and so few babies remaining for adoption. Desperate people who want a child and cannot get one legally will go to illegal means to get what they want. So society, in accepting abortion-on-demand, is largely to blame for the problem.
lester brown Your general statement that "abortions have decreased in America" is misleading. There are still 1.2 million abortions per year and holding steady, down from 1.4/1.5 million several years ago. As for the orphans in other countries, it goes to show that it is other countries, and not America, that have created problems for their people. So the question is, should America be held responsible for the alleged 140 million orphans, while other countries, including the ones the children came from, turn and look away? America cannot possibly absorb that many children, we already have problems with the 12+ million illegals coming across our southern border. So one question that must be asked is: Why is it that countries, many of which have existed for hundreds of years before the U.S. was created, cannot make their countries work and take care of their citizens? It cannot be America's fault, and it is not America's job to clean up the messes that governments in other countries make.
Esta pelicula es materia prima para un estudio antropologico. Una corriente del Islam cree que nosotros, nuestras vidas, estan escritas en el libro de dios. Como personajes actuando un papel. Somos sujetos discursivos, contrucciones discursivas, dispositivos de un discurso (la maternidad, la procreacion, el rol de una mujer, la moral, etc.).
Most likely because in those days, the stigma of being pregnant before marriage was so strong that a man who discovered his girl pregnant by someone else would have abandoned her and divorced her and nobody would have blamed him. Not saying that's right--but it's how it was.
Credited for the screenplay along with director Ida Lupino is Paul Jarrico, subsequently blacklisted. He was barred from working on films in Hollywood, and because his passport was seized by the State Department, he was unable to travel abroad to resume his career. Lupino's husband, actor Howard Duff, also had a brush with blacklisting, having been dropped from the lead role in the popular radio series The Adventures of Sam Spade. And blacklisting wasn't confined to the entertainment industry. Its influence was felt in teaching, publishing, trade unionism, party politics, even churches. As we enter a new era of censorship and repression, we should learn from the lessons of the past. These forces must be confronted, challenged and defeated in every generation.
It happens a lot, that YT deleting thing. They are also a little capricious what they will or will not keep on... won't show veterinary operations and surgeries..funny. So using code is normal...BTW the piano player (14:20) is Leo Penn..father of Sean.
NW. I guess that stands for: No Where. Your guess is as good as mine. I guess, perhaps, you make these abbreviations because of some stipulation of youtube. But I don't think so. It's only an occasional contributor who needs to abbreviate the names of movies so if one is looking for Not Wanted , good luck. Make it easier for us to locate a film we are looking for. Not that I was looking for it. It just happened upon me. Anyway, interesting film - and ahead of its time in theme.
The texting title format you use for your page is not necessary. You have plenty of room to spell out the film's title. I have no idea the movie title until I start watching. O 50? M 42?
In reality unlikely for the doctor to determine she's pregnant from a housecall, no tests. I know it was dramatic license to move the story forward, but still. . .
What a pathetic film. Having a baby out of wedlock is so common, it happens daily. Lupino was always overly dramatic. A girl of 19, is so much wiser today. I would never, never, give my child away. She has 1 year to change her mind, and can regain her parenthood status. Her parents were waiting for her. She left because her mother nagged her? She was so stupid.
Perhaps it didn't occur to you that this film was made in 1949, when having a baby without being married was looked on with a great deal of condemnation.
Its a great movie, very emotional, and wonderful., pity, a sequel was not considered, particularly with the same actors. thank you for posting.

They are doing that all over now. Either codes or different title. Cool.
I love Ida Lupino as an actress and director. This is a film way ahead of its time but this is what I expected from such a tremendous talent.
It's surprising Ida Lupino isn't better known to us nowadays.
As she ended badly. Sad how her husband was blackmailed. He was great as Sam Spade on radio

You have the wrong woman sweetie. Lupino is one of my favorites. Her and Barbara Stanwyck are the tops in acting.

Yep English Rose with Italian / Irish family roots.
Lupino was born in Britten but she was Italian on fathers side and Irish on her mothers side.
Yep, I prefer to say she was English than British though of course, as Sean Connery is Scottish.
I believe her family had been in England for generations, so would have probably assimilated into the English population. My mother's maiden name was Ryan but her parents weren't Irish, and she never even thought about it. It's not quite the same as in the USA - We don't tend to base ethnicity on surnames so much.

Sally Forrest was a true beauty and quite a good actress. She played the part perfectly. Ida Lupino's direction was superb!
I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO MARRY IDA LUPINO! My kinda lady!
Powerful story, terrific acting!
Mindblowing story
So why are women always attracted to guys who don't want them !
Guys are the same, they too prefer women who don't want them.
Agree.
You like me, I hate you.
You hate me, I LOVE you.

Ida Lupino was much more than actor. Inventor. Read about her life. See documentaries. The situation in Texas in 2022 is just like this.

I think she’s a great actress Ida Lupino,I cannot understand how I have never heard of her up till now.I thought I knew all the good old actresses.

WHY IS THIS MOVIE TITTLED "WEST 49"?
The landlady resembled Lily Tomlin ala "Ernestine"
Heartbreaking! It was the debut film of a female director - 1949!
no,that was dorothy arzner in the '30's, (Christopher strong, craig's wife, the bride wore red.....etc.)
It says debut film of a female director. This is a female director's debut film. Doesn't say it was the first ever.

this is why abortion has to be kept legal
You can find something legal in murdering a baby, Dian, is that it for you?
