On the Loose is a 1951 American drama film directed by Charles Lederer and written by Dale Eunson and Katherine Albert.

The film stars Joan Evans, Melvyn Douglas, Lynn Bari, Robert Arthur and Hugh O'Brian.

Frank says she can keep it if she does household chores, then becomes furious after Jill sneaks out to see boyfriend Larry Lindsay and coming home late, smelling of liquor.

Larry enters and wrongly assumes Frank is a date, insulting Jill as a girl of low morals.

A contemporary review in the St. Paul Recorder described it as "a little B-movie" and "unpretentiously produced," but noted it was "far more thought provoking entertainment than most of the silver screen stuff we see these days.
