\I Knew Not How to Call Her Now\: The Bigamist's Second Wife in \The Witch Of Edmonton\ and \All's Lost By Lust\
[...]at the end of the play, the focus is on the renewal of Frank and Winifred's marriage in the wake of Frank's crimes: repentant upon the gallows, Frank accepts that he must die for his sins, and when his penitence moves Susan's family sufficiently for them to forgive him, Winifred too accepts his remorse and wishes they could ascend to heaven together. Since they cannot, she promises to \"be the monument / Of [his] lov'd memory\" and \"preserve it / With a Religious care\" (5.3.100-102).

Ida Lupino Filmaker: L'altro volto dell'American Way of Life
Personalità forte e indipendente, Ida Lupino non è stata soltanto un’attrice attiva soprattutto nella Hollywood degli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta, ma anche una regista che con le sue pellicole ha rispecchiato gli umori e le angosce dell’America del Dopoguerra. La carriera autoriale della cineasta inizia nel 1949, quando fonda insieme al marito Collier Young la Emerald Films (poi rinominata The Filmakers), una piccola società di produzione che affrontava spesso tematiche forti per l’epoca come violenza sessuale e bigamia. Ciò fino al1954, quando la casa dovette chiudere per alcuni problemi economici. In tale lasso di tempo, Ida Lupino avrà l’occasione di passare dietro la macchina da presa girando per la sua società sei film, quali Non abbandonarmi (Not Wanted, 1949), Never Fear (1949) La preda della belva (Outrage, 1950), Hard, Fast and Beautiful (1951), La belva dell’autostrada (The Hitch-Hiker, 1953) e La grande nebbia (The Bigamist, 1953). Una filmografia breve e abbastanza compatta in determinate scelte tematiche e formali che tuttavia si può dividere in due fasi: una – costituita dai primi tre titoli – definibile come un’ideale “trilogia sul trauma”; l’altra – composta dai lavori successivi – concentrata sui problemi della classe media. Il presente saggio analizzerà le pellicole della seconda fase autoriale della cineasta e si pone come il seguito ideale del testo pubblicato sul numero 584 di «Cineforum», dedicato principalmente alla trilogia sul trauma. L’articolo analizzerà i singoli titoli nelle loro scelte tematiche e formali, ma al tempo stesso cercherà di confrontarli con le opere precedenti per capire come si evolve il percorso poetico di Ida Lupino, regista coerente nello sguardo la cui filmografia contiene però differenze ed evoluzioni che in questa sede si vogliono individuare e approfondire.
