I saw this movie in 1956 at a local Drive-In, as a "double feature"! In those days, even the 'second' or 'B' film could be a memorable one! The colorization, on this short, but very well made movie, is top notch! One of the best that I have ever seen!
I saw the first movie that I ever watched yesterday, The Blob. Must have been 1957-58 (??), I was only 3 at the time, watching it at a drive-in from a 1957 Oldsmobile. I do remember it scared me.
William Talman gave a fantastic performance, and his Hostage-Holding Villian brought to mind similar characters played by other great actors as well, namely: .Humphrey Bogart in The Petrified Forest (1936) .Richard Widmark in Kiss Of Death (1947) .Edward G. Robinson in Key Largo (1948) .Dan Duryea in Winchester '73 (1950) .Glenn Ford in 3:10 To Yuma (1957) .Richard Boone in The Tall T (1957) Edmond O'Brien is great here, as always, and he excelled in Film Noirs such as The Killers (1946) and White Heat (1949). And all the credit to Ida Lupino, a great actress/director that made a masterpiece of a minimalist thriller with The Hitch-Hiker. Many of you probably remember her as an actress in High Sierra (1941), alongside Humphrey Bogart. The Hitch-Hiker (1953) was more than obviously the inspiration for The Hitcher (1986), which starred Rutger Hauer as The Hitch-Hiker and C. Thomas Howell. Which was then later remade again in 2007 with the same title, that time starring Sean Bean as the Hitch-Hiker and Sophia Bush. Thanks for the movie, Cult Cinema Classics, this is about as good as a B-Film Noir can get!
He bien je suis dans vos traces😂😂 Merci à tous et madame Lupino si brillante... Quand les femmes ont du talent elles ne revendiquent pas leur "genre "😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Ida was a trail blazer of her day!!! A fine actress and director too one of the first of her generation!! It is sad though that this story though a movie was factual and these things still happen in this world today!!!
Alice Guy Blanche would have been stunned at Ida Lupino and this brilliant film. Shame they felt they had to put colour on it. It has a better atmosphere and feel in black and white.
What did papa tell you back in the day? "DONT PICK UP ANY HITCH HIKERS"! And you couldn't help yourself. There you go picking up a hippie 👧here , a hobo there, a bigfoot 🦍 next, just to spite poor old dad. Tsk - tsk. Here's a scare-fest to remind y'all why pops was right. O'Brien & Talman star. Directed and co-written by Ida Lupino. So it gonna be good. 👍Just thank your lucky ⭐⭐⭐ you're not pushing up 🌻! Amen. 😇
Excelente película, muy buenos actores...Ida Lupino, una mujer innovadora en el séptimo arte, aún en un filme clase B. Cine con mayúsculas, del que ya no se encuentra en este siglo de alta tecnología y baja chatura.
What a fantastic movie!! So much tension..nothing today could match this incredibly realistic gem..and 1953 was the year i was born so i feel especialy excited by the whole thing, first time ive seen this..thanks for posting and ive subscribed..Steve
I would say off hand that this movie is somewhat based on Billy Cook; a guy originally from Joplin,MO who hitch hiked his way through Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma in the early 1950s. When I was out in that part of the World in 1953, people were NOT STOPPING FOR HITCH HIKERS! Cook was arrested and got the death penalty or so I have heard. I got this tidbit of information from a guy I served with in the military whose uncle was a local sheriff in that area. Anyway, it was a great movie!
The two would be fishermen were talking tough,lots of bravado that soon evaporated when they realised that the hitch hiker was the escaped killer Myers!
_Aww, Yes, my dearest Helen! It's for real a Thriller movie! Hitch-Hiker is an amazing old movie from 70 years ago, directed by Ida Lupino, with Edmond O'Brien, Frank Lovejoy and William Talman! It seems tô be a Véry good one indeed! I hope you enjoy it with us here on CCC movie chat at live! God bless you always, my Sweet Helen from my heart!_ 🤩🤩🤗🤗❤❤❤❤
@@helenpoornima5126 _Aww, my Sweet Helen from my heart! Thanks a lot for your kindness! I'm glad to know that you had liked my comments! God bless you always, my dearest Helen!_ 🤩🤩🤗🤗❤❤
Didn't know this is the original 50's movie. I only remember the Rutger Haugler version and that horrible death scene with the girl tied between the HGV rig and trailer in the 90's version
this is terrific little noir, unusual in that is in the wide open spaces under the sun. Excellent direction by Lupino with a non stereotype attitude towards Mexicans, hardly ever there in Hollywood at the time. All time psychotic in Talman who is terrific. But colorized? Ugh ugh ugh. Takes away all the grittiness from this excellent film. And the color is NEVER right
That this is a real event may actually be true. Such a psychological experiment could be conducted at that time. It was well organized and coordinated in advance with officials and the news broadcast. As a rule, everyone was aware of the plan except the person being tested. Where others, including friends and family, could have a role as accomplices or victims. The point is, isn't it time that such old experiments were presented in documentary form instead of drama?
I expect the shoot followed the same direction as the story: right down the Baja peninsula. I don't consider this Film Noir, or D.O.A., also starring Edmund O'Brien; rather, they're Crime-Thrillers -- and better than most dopey Film Noirs.
She was the only woman director after the silent period. When the new moguls took over and started the studio system the got rid of women directors and most of the woman writers! Lupine was lucky and was at the right place at the right time when she took over for a director who became sick and she finished the picture! She did pretty good work but she still had to struggle. It's to long to get into all of this here, there's plenty of literature out there on this subject!
Hey George. She and her husband created their own production company Filmmakers. Her film, "The Bigamist" (1953) was named in the book "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die").
I saw this movie in 1956 at a local Drive-In, as a "double feature"!

What a great movie .... Ida Lupino at her finest
Exactly. She paved the way for people such as Penny Marshall while also being an amazing actress.
Thanks for making it in color 👍
Großartiger Film mit großartigen Darstellern und Landschaften und Autos.

The makers of the film were fine with black and white. I hate colorization... it's as much a violation of the artists' intent as censorship. 🎉
I don't get why it's colorized.
Thank you.
I'm an artist and ! like to see the color. 😊

Great movie in 3 actors. And great music . Miss this kind of production.

This movie and concept screams for a remake. Just imagine three of the better actors today playing this out.
I don't see any good actors nowadays 😮!
See the excellent Rutger Hauer film *The Hitcher*
I would say off hand that this movie is somewhat based on Billy Cook; a guy originally from Joplin,MO who hitch hiked his way through Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma in the early 1950s.

Perry Mason's Ham Berger as the homicidal hitchhiker! I love it!
I wouldnt wonder if this movie would be coming from the hands of Mr. Hitchcock, its that good, timeless classic!
Ils fait un temps des films exceptionnels merci

Przepięknie dziękuję

Great movie.
BEST MOVIE!💥🙌💪
Good flick thanks.
Corney I thought. Nevertheless watched the whole thing and gave a thumbs up.
Decent b/w effort. Knock spots off what you see today. 8/10
The two would be fishermen were talking tough,lots of bravado that soon evaporated when they realised that the hitch hiker was the escaped killer Myers!
Believe or not: The Beautiful IDA LUPINO was the DIRECTOR 😮
and half script-writer!
"Beautiful IDA LUPINO" in her 20s, she looked cute.
A film that is well worth watching. I prefer the black and white version. PC. 18. 05. 2023.

A very good movie!
3:50 At the rate that landscape is going by it looks like they're doing about 100 mph
Classic 😊
It's a damn shame they don't make decent films these days , this was rugged but under control , a lesson that's lost on today's Hollywood directors ,
Very good movie, full of curiosity.
Love that film but not in color.
The guy sitting at the back in the car he looks like Rocco Siffredi.😂
He is reported as being 28, looks 45, and his real age is 38.😂
Very good movie, I recommend.
MUY BUENA PELI~CINTA, LA RECOMIENDO .
Billy no mates has to capture friends at gunpoint. Nice Car. The Mexican police car is even better.
?Los Americanos carro: Buick Continental? Mexicano policia carro -- yo no se. !Carros are all purple! Lol. Naranja would have been my second choice.
I enjoyed this movie, it is tense and makes me think of the old adage;"No good deed ever goes unpunished."

The Guy who said she's probably dead by now is dead himself by now Am I the only one who thinks about life's such intricacies
Gran film
This is film noir. Whoever colorized it should pick up a hitch hiker more often.
Didn't know this is the original 50's movie. I only remember the Rutger Haugler version and that horrible death scene with the girl tied between the HGV rig and trailer in the 90's version
William talman is a wild dude. Good movie.

Ironic that you back then could just cross into Mexico like that. And what happens in this movie was rare compared to today.
