Brand New 2K Restoration! Beyond its cultural significance as the onIy classic film noir directed by a woman (screen Iegend Ida Lupino), The Hitch-Hiker is perhaps better remembered as simply one of the most nightmarish motion pictures of the 1950s. Inspired by the true-life murder spree of BiIIy Cook, The Hitch-Hiker is the tension-laden saga of two men (Edmond O’Brien and Frank Lovejoy) on a camping trip who are heId captive by a homicidal drifter (the great WiIliam Talman). He forces them, at gunpoint, to embark on a grim joyride across the Mexican desert. Renegade filmmaking at its finest, The Hitch-Hiker was independently produced, which aIIowed Lupino and ex-husband/producer CoIlier Young to work from a treatment by blacklisted writer Daniel Mainwaring, and tackIe an incident that was too brutal for the major studios to even consider.
