Woman in Hiding, directed by Michael Gordon, is a taut and suspenseful film noir that keeps viewers engaged with its blend of mystery and danger. Ida Lupino stars as Deborah Chandler, a woman who discovers her new husband (Stephen McNally) may be trying to kill her. After a suspicious accident, she fakes her own death and goes on the run, leading to a cat-and-mouse chase filled with tension.
Lupino delivers a strong and sympathetic performance, balancing vulnerability with resilience. Howard Duff adds a likable charm as a stranger who becomes her reluctant ally. The film effectively uses shadows and tight framing to enhance the noir atmosphere, and the plot moves briskly with enough twists to keep things interesting.
While Woman in Hiding may not be the most famous entry in the genre, it’s a well-crafted thriller that showcases Lupino’s talent and offers a satisfying dose of classic Hollywood suspense.
