After writing about Ida Lupino's role in "
The Sixteen Millimeter Shrine,"
I realized I knew very little about her and wanted to learn more about
this intriguing lady and see more of her films. I was surprised to discover that I had already
seen her in two films,
Search For Beauty and
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but had not recognized her as the actress I knew from the
Twilight Zone episode I had seen many years prior.

I

Alfred Hitchcock Presents and

Ida in this
