The Hitch-Hiker

USA 1953 | 71 minutes | English | Hebrew subtitles

Inspired by a true-life murder spree, The Hitch-Hiker is the tension-laden epic of two men on a camping trip who are held captive by a homicidal drifter, who they picked up on the way. He forces them, at gunpoint, to embark on a grim joyride across the Mexican desert. The Hitch-Hiker is considered the only female-directed film noir. Ida Lupino explores American masculinity through the lens of noir aesthetics and narrative structures
