The Hitch-Hiker -DVD (R0)

The Hitch-Hiker (Varo vapaamatkustajia, 1953)

"There's death in his upraised thumb!" screams posters for Ida Lupino's The Hitch-Hiker (1953), often referred to as the only film noir to be directed by a woman.

But The Hitch-Hiker doesn't need an historic footnote to be interesting. It's an expertly-directed suspense film by any standards. Edmond O'Brien and Frank Lovejoy play family men on a fishing trip who make the near fatal mistake of picking up mad-dog killer William Talman. Talman, known for playing the DA in the Perry Mason TV series, is pure evil here; he even sleeps with one eye open.
