Outrage is a 1950 black-and-white B-movie starring Mala Powers. It was directed by noted film noir actress and pioneering female director Ida Lupino. Lupino also wrote the film, along with the producers Malvin Wald and her then-husband Collier Young.
Outrage was both controversial and remarkable for being only the second post-Production Code Hollywood film to deal with the issue of rape -- after Johnny Belinda (1948), which earned the actress who portrayed the victim, Jane Wyman, the Best Actress Academy Award.
The Outrage is a 1964 film that is a remake of the Japanese film Rashomon (1950). It was directed by Martin Ritt and is based on stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa.
The Outrage stars Edward G. Robinson, Paul Newman, Lawrence Harvey, Claire Bloom, and William Shatner. The film uses a western genre to tell the same story as the Japanese movie.
Like the original Kurosawa film, this film shows the contrasting information between various witnesses to a crime.
Shatner and Robinson listen to four different versions of a rape/murder, told alternatively by Harvey, Bloom, Newman and Howard Da Silva. Harvey is the one murdered, but tells his story through an Indian medicine man. Each story is a biased opinion of what happened, and the movie never resolves which story is true (if any).
After a technicality results in the release of a man being tried for the rape and murder of a young woman, her father (Robert Preston) murders the man. Admitting his guilt and refusing to use temporary insanity, the father places his attorney (Beau Bridges) in a virtual no-win situation. In an extreme effort, the attorney decides to call the judge (Mel Ferrer) who released the murderer originally and to challenge the entire legal system that would permit such a travesty.
