Lupino appears to be talking to two women while all are looking at something off camera.

This photo has been described as Ida Lupino with two women on the set of “The Hitch-Hiker” (1953). I’ve wondered who the two are as no women are in the final cast.

It turns out two women were cast originally, Virginia Huston and Elizabeth Fraser. Could these women be them?

Two page magazine layout with brief write-up and five photos. Text: As the only active lady director in Hollywood, Ida Lupino is also the person who gave herself the assignment, as producer of the picture, "Hard, Fast and Beautiful," for she is also one of the few lady producers on the movie scene. This sort of thing can result in very interesting situations, like when Ida, as producer, assigns herself as director to a picture in which she is also the star, to direct love scenes between herself and a male star whom she is also dating in real life! That almost happened with Bob Walker, whom she dated a while. Imagine making love to your boss, for pay, with the boss timing the kisses! Photo captions: The body belongs to Sally Forrest, left, but as far as Director Ida and Dialogue Director Don Weis are concerned, it’s only a prop to be moved around for good shot. Above, Ida is the kind of director who listens carefully when a star like Claire Trevor has suggestions for a scene on a tennis court set of "Hard, Fast and Beautiful." Left, the director and her new young star have a spot of tea. Ida, who discovered Sally Forrest and made her star she is today, is also giving her the English habit of tea every afternoon, it seems. Ida was born in London, Eng. With the help of the sound technician, Director Ida, right, is checking up on what happens to voice of an actor speaking offstage in "Beautiful" scene. It seems it goes in one thing, comes out another! A story conference on the set includes all the big shots of "Beautiful," Second Assistant Director Grayson, Assistant Director James Anderson, Producer Collier Young (Ida's ex), Ida and Dialogue Director Don Weis.

Direction by Ida Lupino — Movie Pix magazine, June 1951

“A lady with ideas, Ida likes being the boss… and a good one!”

Full newspaper page: Large title: “LADY DIRECTOR” Main caption: “Hollywood has succumbed to the modern woman. The ladies, who formerly were content to parade in front of the cameras have now taken over many of the chores behind the lenses—script writing, producing, and even directing—which formerly were considered strictly male prerogatives. Latest recruit is lovely Ida Lupino, who spent quite a few years as a top-ranking star herself. Miss Lupino, who produced the film ‘Not Wanted,’ recently turned her talents to directing a new romantic drama titled ‘Never Fear.’ Her directing of the new picture is shown here.” Eight photos with individual captions: - WITH GESTURES, Miss Lupino explains exactly how she wants a scene photographed, while film editor William Ziegler listens attentively. - "ATTENTION, PLEASE!" Miss Lupino rehearses Keefe Brasselle and Sally Forrest in a scene from the film. - CAMERA angles are checked by Miss Lupino and cameraman Archie Stout. - THE EXPERT. Miss Lupino checks on Solly Forrest's makeup. - "LET'S MAKE LOVE." Miss Lupino shows how she wants love scene played. - IDA goes over sequence with dialogue director Leslie Urbach. - 'HERE'S HOW…’Ida Lupino demonstrates to Keefe Brasselle the intricate steps of a dance routine. - ON THE SET, Ida checks scene through camera's finder.
