Outrage - 1950 - 6/10

Ann has just gotten engaged. Head in the clouds, she heads home through the factory distract.
Is observed, followed, chased, raped (although that word is never spoken).

In later times there would be support groups, counselors.
Yet in 1950, there is stigma. Neighbors and coworkers watch, point, whisper.
So Ann bolts, hops the Los Angeles bound bus, gets off in nowhere.
Reinvents herself with a new name.
Noirish “message” film, packs a nice punch, and while still informed by the white bread mores and restrictions of the 1950‘s, this is still relevant today. Sadly.
