About a year ago, the National Museum of Women in the Arts
ran a series
(well, they called it a series, it was only three films)
called "Women of Film Noir." The emphasis was on women behind
the scenes in the movie business, but they didn't feature a
single female director. The films were: Gilda (written by
Marion Parsonnet and Jo Eisinger, produced by Virginia Van
Upp), Phantom Lady (written and produced by Joan Harrison,
her first solo film after working with Hitchcock; love that
deranged drumming scene with Elisha Cook, Jr) and My Name Is
Julia Ross (written by Muriel Roy Bolton).
