WOMEN MAKE FILM: A NEW ROAD MOVIE THROUGH CINEMA
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
We’re getting near the end of this mammoth salute to female filmmakers. Tonight is installment ten of the Women Make Film documentary series, and the chapters of female film focus this week are genre-related: “Melodrama,” “Sci Fi” and “Horror and Hell.” The first segment, “Melodrama,” allows a close look at actress and writer-director Ida Lupino, whose bold (and boldly photographed) 1950 drama Outrage follows the documentary tonight at 9:15 p.m. ET. It stars Mala Powers (pictured) as a woman who becomes engaged to be married – then has her future altered dramatically after she’s attacked, and raped, on her way home from work.
