| More Information |
| Details: |
In this noir-thriller starring Ida Lupino (THE MOONTIDE), a psychotic road house owner named Jefty (Richard Widmark) becomes murderously jealous when his mildly talented yet engagingly blunt lounge singer falls in love with his secret enemy (Cornel Wilde). The visually stark and hard-edged ROAD HOUSE could mark the beginning of eventual writer-director-producer Lupino's autonomous power over her own Hollywood career. |
