Critic Reviews for Outrage

All Critics (23) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (9)

The picture has a message of hope for such girls and mistreated women who feel themselves in an abyss of despair through no fault of their own.

Marjory Adams
Boston Globe
Producer Collier Young, Director Lupino and Malvin Wald wrote the screenplay. Everything has been done with their usual good taste, and freedom from sensationalism.

Helen Bower
Detroit Free Press
It's a grim story... but it carries a worthwhile message to girls who undergo such a terrifying and humiliating experience. It also deplores the unkind attitude that unfeeling people adopt toward victims of rape.

Wanda Hale
New York Daily News
I do not quarrel with the pertinence of these subjects to our lives today, but rather with the treatment of them.

Philip K. Scheuer
Los Angeles Times
Its screenplay, direction and acting simply aren't powerful, real or even convincing enough and it runs to tedium.

Myles Standish
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
This 1950 film by Ida Lupino may not be stylistically original or completely successful, but it does treat the subject of rape with real sensitivity, especially for its era.

Fred Camper
Chicago Reader
Miss Powers is touching as the girl, and her performance in this difficult portrayal marks her as an actress of considerable resource.

Jane Corby
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Ida Lupino, who directed Outrage for Producer Collier Young, has a great liking for the frank, blunt look at subjects which Hollywood has hitherto ignored.

Harry MacArthur
Washington Star
Since she has turned director-producer, Ida's aim has been to seek new themes for pictures and new faces. In this picture she has been far more successful with the latter.

I do not consider it good theater, and certainly I do not consider it in good taste.

Hortense Morton (Screen Scout)
San Francisco Examiner
My sympathy goes to screen newcomers Mala Powers and Tod Andrews for making their debut in such a maudlin, badly directed picture as Outrage.

Josephine O'Neill
Daily Telegraph (Australia)
The situation in the photoplay... has been presented with considerable courage and restraint, but what it lacks, woefully in too many places, are the dramatic verities.
