Woman Wanted is a 1999 film directed by Kiefer Sutherland (later credited as Alan Smithee). It is based on a novel by Joanna Glass, who also wrote the screenplay. It stars Sutherland, Holly Hunter, Michael Moriarty, and Sutherland's mother, Shirley Douglas.

Premise

The story is about a woman who works as a housekeeper for a widower and his adult son.

Cast

Kiefer Sutherland as Wendell Goddard
Holly Hunter as Emma Riley
Michael Moriarty as Richard Goddard
Carrie Preston as Monica
Allegra Fulton as Gracie
Shirley Douglas as Peg

Production

Woman Wanted was filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba. One of the notable features of the film is that "Alan Smithee" is listed as one of the directors, meaning Sutherland effectively disowned the project. It was the last film to use the Alan Smithee credit, which was discontinued in 2000.

Reception

The film won Best Independent Feature Film at the Ajijic International Film Festival, as well as Best Feature Film at the Slamdunk Film Festival.

Notes

Sutherland later disavowed the theatrical film and was subsequently credited as Alan Smithee.
