Review of Outrage

Outrage (1950)
6/10
Brave but highly problematic

While I applaud what Lupino was trying to do here, the idea that she made the scene with Frank physically dominating and imposing himself on Ann despite her frantic objection ABOUT ANN'S so-called "ILLNESS" was insulting... even for 1950. I've seen many films from the 50s, 40s, 30s and even the 20s, with men being far less aggressive, and still getting "checked". That was NOT acceptable behavior even back then, yet Lupino made Ann's wrench-wielding response to Frank solely about Ann.
