As Zanuck Sr. repeatedly told his son, had Valley of the Dolls been a product of the Hollywood studio system at its apex, in less than a week he would have assigned it to a contract director, one or more of the studio’s stable of thirty-plus top screenwriters, an available cameraman, production and costume designer, a composer, and a cast selected from 20th’s contract talent roster. It isn’t hard to imagine a forties-era Valley of the Dolls. On tap at the studio were any number of great beauties and “types,” some of them quite talented. And if those weren’t quite right, Zanuck might have arranged to borrow talent from other studios. There was Gene Tierney, Linda Darnell, or Jeanne Crain to play the reserved New Englander Anne Welles. Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, or Lana Turner might have played the luckless showgirl Jennifer North. The young Bette Davis, Susan Hayward, or Ida Lupino would have fit as brilliantly talented, tormented Neely O’Hara. Tyrone Power/Gregory Peck/Cornel Wilde could have slipped easily into the role of suave, slippery Lyon Burke, alongside Dana Andrews as press agent Mel, Vincent Price as Charles Revson–inspired cosmetics empire maven Kevin Gillmore, and Clifton Webb as fashion designer Ted Casablanca. For good measure, Zanuck could have thrown in Gertrude Lawrence as fading Broadway virago Helen Lawson, Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin/Vic Damone as Tony Polar, and Geraldine Fitzgerald as Miriam, sister of the sexy, childlike crooner. Or had Zanuck made the movie later in his career, he could have helped himself to the talents of, respectively, Hope Lange, Diane Varsi, or Shirley Jones as Anne, Marilyn Monroe, Joan Collins, or Debra Paget as Jennifer, Joanne Woodward as Neely, Richard Burton or Stephen Boyd as Lyon, Roddy McDowall as Ted Casablanca, Claudette Colbert or Mary Martin as Helen, Elvis Presley as Tony with Angela Lansbury as Miriam. But in 1966, the days of the studio system and exclusive contracts were on life support. With the long shadow of Darryl F. Zanuck looming over Valley of the Dolls, it would take Richard D. Zanuck, producer David Weisbart, and director Mark Robson long, torturous months and many reversals before the casting—let alone the entire production—finally pulled together. And, from his Paris headquarters, Zanuck Sr. thought that was laughable—when he didn’t find it infuriating.

Richard Dyer's "Homosexuality and Film Noir" and Ida Lupino's The Hitch-Hiker (1953)
In his article "Homosexuality and Film Noir", Richard Dyer outlines how homosexuality is portrayed and implied within the genre. Dyer first lays out the ground rules for what defines a noir before delving into the different elements that make up queer subtext in the films. Ida Lupino's The Hitch-Hiker is considered the first (and last) noir film directed by a woman. This makes it an interesting film to compare to the rest of the genre as it helps to give insight into the different patriarchal ideas which permeate the films. It also is an interesting film to compare to Dyer's own analysis of homosexuality in film noir as some would argue the film has queer subtext.
When going down the checklist presented by Dyer as what is typical of queer subtext in film noir, The Hitch-Hiker doesn't seem to check many boxes. There is no femme fatale, the men in question are not portrayed as fastidious or well-groomed/cultured, and the film is not particularly sexually-charged. This does not mean however that there is nothing in the film that could be taken as queer subtext. There is a strong male-male relationship at the center of the film, the two men are traveling on a vacation alone together, away from their wives/families, the men are not "hard-boiled" but rather are more soft than your typical male protagonists, and, most notably, the film has no women. The male relationships in a women-free world is the big element mentioned by Dyer that the film seems to check off.
The differences between Dyer's article and the subtext in The Hitch-Hiker can be looked at through the lens of considering The Hitch-Hiker as the only women-directed Noir. Lupino brings a unique perspective to the genre, therefore her film doesn't conform perfectly to what is typical. At first it may seem strange that a woman would direct a movie with no women in it, but Lupino uses the film to subvert certain ideas about gender. Lupino's portrayal of her male protagonists is atypical of other male protagonists in the genre. The two main characters, Gil and Roy, are the victims in the film, subjected to the power of another man. They are not strong and potent like more Bogart-esque characters. They are also protective of one another, particularly Gil to Roy as he takes care of him, even going so far as to knock him out to save his life.
These portrayals subvert and criticize male ideas about power and gender roles in film, particularly in the noir genre, as well as can be interpreted as queer subtext as they focus on a relationship between two men without the presence of women and inverts certain ideas about gender.

Week 5: Women & Noir Film
The Hitch-Hiker (1953) is the one and only noir film directed by a woman. Ida Lupino, who lived from 1918-1995 was born in England but later moved to the United States to pursue the entertainment industry. Ida Lupino had multiple roles in the movie industry, she began her career as an actor then she later worked her way up to become a screenwriter, producer and director. Lupino worked with Warner Bros for a bit but was later suspended, she worked mostly in an independent sector, establishing a production company of many filmmakers alongside her second husband Collier Young. Ida Lupino with the help of her husband both wrote and directed the hitchhiker which is inspired by a true crime story following Billy and his murder spree. Ida lupino personally interviewed the men who were held hostage to get a better and deeper understanding to better write the script. The Hitchhiker is a class noir film, which is to describe angsty and stylish Hollywood crime dramas. There is a basic structure of noir films which is basically a loop of nightmares. At this time the united states' censorship is censoring many films due to their profanity, slavery, sex perversion, drugs, etc. Richard Dryer writes about Homosexuality and Film noir and gives a deep analysis of noir films. Dryer states “ , it is clearly only in a minority of films noir that gay characters appear (I doubt if I have missed more than two or three), yet their absence from all other types of film and the caution with which even film noir had to introduce them suggests that they do nonetheless constitute a defining feature of film noir taken as a whole. Second, it will be noted how the iconography of male and female gays contrasts with that of straight men and women in film noir, not to the extent of cross-dressing, but in terms of glamorous and sensual as opposed to rough and severe for women, and carelessness as opposed to fastidiousness for men”. Noir films can be seen as angsty but it gives the spotlight to more important things and gives a platform to everyone.
