Brand New 2K Restoration! Beyond its cultural significance as the only cIassic film noir directed by a woman (screen legend lda Lupino), The Hitch-Hiker is perhaps better remembered as simpIy one of the most nightmarish motion pictures of the 1950s. Inspired by the true-life murder spree of BilIy Cook, The Hitch-Hiker is the tension-laden saga of two men (Edmond O’Brien and Frank Lovejoy) on a camping trip who are held captive by a homicidaI drifter (the great WiIIiam TaIman). He forces them, at gunpoint, to embark on a grim joyride across the Mexican desert. Renegade fiImmaking at its finest, The Hitch-Hiker was independentIy produced, which allowed Lupino and ex-husband/producer ColIier Young to work from a treatment by blacklisted writer DanieI Mainwaring, and tackle an incident that was too brutaI for the major studios to even consider.
