If you like this movie and our channel, please subscribe: goo.gl/0qDmXe | "The Hitch-Hiker" is a film noir directed by Ida Lupino about two fishing buddies who pick up a mysterious hitchhiker during a trip to Mexico. The movie was written by Robert L. Joseph, Lupino, and her husband Collier Young, based on a story by "Out of the Past" screenwriter Daniel Mainwaring, who was blacklisted at the time and did not receive screen credit. The film is based on the true story of Billy Cook, a psychopathic murderer. Two men (Edmond O'Brien and Frank Lovejoy) on a fishing trip pick up a hitchhiker named Emmett Myers (William Talman), who turns out to be a psychopath who has committed multiple murders.
It has been called the first film noir directed by a woman, despite Norwegian director Edith Carlmar having made a noir already back in 1949 ("Døden er et kjærtegn"). The director of photography was RKO Pictures regular Nicholas Musuraca. In 1998, "The Hitch-Hiker" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."

We all should know that Ida Lupino was a fantastic actress, but here she shows how great she was at directing, and writing. In just a little over an hour she builds the tension ,and suspense to a boiling point that grips you to the end, that some directors (today) can't do in 2,&1/2 hrs. The acting is fantastic, and the camera work is spot on. Thank you Timeless Classic for showing this gem. Bob. G

The idea of the psycho batshit villain with a ‘dead eye’ or whatever that never closed so the two heroes never knew when he was sleeping was genius. Had a lot of fun.

2 👍👍 in honor of Siskel and Ebert. Ida Lupino was a great all around film, tv and radio talent: actor, writer, director, producer...she did it all at a high level. The Hitch-Hiker and Outrage are both designated films in the National Film Registry, a great honor and testament to her talented contributions. My personal favs were her acting gigs in High Sierra and The Bigamist. She was gorgeous, and fit the femme fatale noir roles perfectly.

Thank you for posting these movies. I love these old classics. They were made when films were still an "art" form. The actors were great, the scripts were great, the stories were great and original, the cinematography was great and the directors were great. Movies today have weak scripts, regurgitated stories, mediocre actors and acting and it seems like one person writes all the stories. I am sick and tired of movies that inject the same old Hollywood agenda and propaganda that most the time have nothing to do with the story being told. As with all things today, when so much money is involved, the once "art" form has become a "science", meaning always the same formula. OK, great CGI, but so what!. These old classic movies did so much more with less than one tenth the budget and no CGI. How sad and disappointing, except now I spend more time watching classics that new movies.

Dammit! I was looking forward to seeing how a hamster 🐹 saved the day... maybe crawl up the bad guys pants to snack on the berries? But lamster? now I have to look for a lamb instead? 🐑 Sheeesh 🙄

This movie was inspired by true events. One can also read- The Mosser Massacre, by Glenn Shirley. It also is why hitchhiking is illegal many places.This case was the largest west of the Mississippi man hunt at the time.

In the seventies you still saw hitchhikers after that not so much. It dwindled. Now Never.

@Fallin Leaves When you stick out your thumb and get picked up for free by whoever sees you that's hitchhiking. For a couple of years in the 70s that's how I commuted to work every morning. Uber is nothing like that. Who ever heard of needing an account to hitchhike?

I remember watching movies as kid in the 70s about people...mostly women getting killed when hitchhiking.

Wow, that was really amazing to watch. You were kept on your toes the entire film. So well done and the quality and sound were fantastic. You will not regret watching this at all. You will regret though if you did not watch it.

Riveting crime film; raw, masculine and brutal. The three lead actors were so good it was like watching a documentary. They seemed to be living their roles, not acting. Each was superb, in a different way. Almost no pandering to viewers who'd want more action or sex, gunplay or even dialogue. The Hitch-Hiker delivered the goods in spades.

This actor died of lung cancer in 1968. Several months before he died, he did a TV public service announcement to discourage anyone from smoking. The commercial ran even after he died. It was kind of eerie.
