Never Fear, also known as The Young Lovers, is a 1950 American drama film directed and co-written by Ida Lupino, and produced by Lupino and Collier Young. It stars Sally Forrest, Keefe Brasselle, and Hugh O'Brian.

Ida Lupino was a British actress, director, writer, and producer. Throughout her 48-year career, she appeared in 59 films and directed eight, working primarily in the United States, where she became a citizen in 1948. She is widely regarded as the most prominent female filmmaker working in the 1950s during the Hollywood studio system. With her independent production company, she co-wrote and co-produced several social-message films and became the first woman to direct a film noir, The Hitch-Hiker, in 1953.
