Woman in Hiding is a 1950 American melodrama[1] thriller film starring Ida Lupino, Howard Duff and Stephen McNally.

Believing she would be unable to prove her husband's guilt, she disappears, bussing straight to Raleigh to seek out Monahan and convince her to go together to the police about Clark.

A chance meeting in Raleigh with a bored ex-soldier, Keith Ramsey, piques the young dreamer's interest in Deborah - purely romantic, until he learns of the $5,000 reward.

Ramsey, who plans to use the windfall to open a boat building business on the northern California coast, tails her, pretending it's a coincidence.

Initially suspicious of Ramsey, the fright-riddled Deborah is so desperate for anyone to trust she begins to thaw toward the handsome, seemingly caring man.

At a hotel hosting a boisterous convention, Clark appears and nearly succeeds in throwing Deborah down a six-story flights of fire exit stairs; only a chance interruption by some drunken conventioneers ends their struggle as they are mistaken for an aggressive romantic advance.

Convinced by Ramsey they are bound together for the safety of his dream home in "Angel's Cove" in California she boards a train with him...only to be turned straight over to Clark, who intends to have her committed to an insane asylum.

She breaks free, and is chased down on the platform at the next stop by a man...Ramsey, who had caught a plane to overtake the train after finally putting the pieces together that she is in mortal danger.

And, aside from a climax which is something less than inspired, Michael Gordon's direction of this story of a newlywed's desperate flight from her homicidal husband is paced toward mounting tension despite some implausible aspects here and there.

Ida Lupino is properly tiny and fragile....Steven McNally is handsome and forbidding as the ruthless killer....Howard Duff...plays knight errant and rescues the lady in the proverbial nick of time.

"[6] Film critic Dennis Schwartz wrote in 2019, "Patchy melodrama with too many contrived suspense escape scenes and too pat an ending to be anything better than a modest thriller, but Ida Lupino as the damsel-in-distress is terrific.
