The Hitch-Hiker (1953) ⭐️ Edmond O'Brien ⭐️ Frank Lovejoy | Crime, Drama, Film Noir
Two fishermen board a psychotic fugitive who tells them he intends to kill them when the tour is over.
Two friends on a fishing trip pick up a stranded driver who turns out to be a psychotic fugitive. This sociopath has murdered other good Samaritans in his efforts to escape authorities. He sadistically insults and threatens both men and perversely delights in telling them that he has them both marked for death at some point before the end of the trip. His destination is the ferry in Baja, California, which he hopes will help him reach the mainland. The hostages hope to be alive long enough to escape or be rescued by Mexican authorities.
Inspired by the crime spree of psychopathic killer Billy Cook (1928–1952), the screenplay was written by Robert L. Joseph, Lupino and her ex-husband Collier Young, based on a story by Daniel Mainwaring, who received no screen credit for he is blacklisted in Hollywood.
The Hitch-Hiker is considered the first mainstream American film noir directed by a woman and was selected in 1998 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
