Now digitally restored, Committed is the story of movie star and leftist iconoclast Frances Farmer. In 1935, Farmer became an overnight Hollywood sensation; within ten years she was in a state mental hospital. This highly stylized film offers a multi-layered look at the life of this culturally defiant woman. Unlike the Hollywood film starring Jessica Lange, Committed goes beyond the personal story to explore the political and social attitudes of the time.
