This hell-for-leather 1953 noir demonstrates Ida Lupino's facility with actors and flawless pacing. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- There's no estrogen whatsoever in The Hitch-Hiker, as spare and muscular a picture as the 1950s ever produced. Full Review

Rating: B -- This suspenseful film noir is superbly acted and sharply helmed by Ida Lupino, one of the few women directors in Hollywood of the 1950s. Full Review

Taut, tough, and entirely without macho-glorification, it's a gem, with first-class performances from its three protagonists, deftly characterised without resort to cliché. Full Review

Product Description:

An acclaimed film noir thriller in which two vacationing men are held captive by a hitchhiking psychopath with one eye that never closes. Though years of more horrific violence and suspense have dulled its impact somewhat, it was way ahead of its time. Considered among Lupino's best work, this film was the progenitor of many, many films that would follow in its tire-treads and is a must-see.
