The only woman director to work in Hollywood in the 1950s, Ida Lupino earned full marks as a creative innovator and a positive force in the industry. It was a restrictive time for the movies: politically, socially, every which way.

After sixty years, the shine still (almost completely) glistens on Lucy, Ethel, and their zany capers.

Lucille Ball, everybody. I know. I know. Save your applause for the end.

Let’s be honest, she raised all of us. You may think you had parents, but no. It was Lucy. Come on, who taught you the important lessons in life about getting revenge through elaborate stratagems and never sharing a ride to Florida with Elsa Lanchester? Exactly.
