Anna Lucasta is a 1949 American film noir drama film directed by Irving Rapper and starring Paulette Goddard, William Bishop, John Ireland, Oscar Homolka, and Broderick Crawford.

[1] When the Lucasta family in Pennsylvania receives a message that a friend's son Rudolf is coming to town to find a wife, they see a chance to make some money.

His daughter Stella's husband Frank (Anna's brother-in-law) persuades Joe to agree by beating him.

She is attracted to a sailor named Danny Johnson, and when he tells her he has saved up enough money to go ashore, she believes he will ask her to marry him.

On the farm she is reminded of when she used to live there when she was younger, and scolded by her father for kissing a boy, which caused her to leave her home.

[2] Irving Rapper wanted Susan Hayward in the lead but says Paulette Goddard "produced a letter promising her the part and it was too late for anyone to get out from under; we'd all signed to do it.
