Like it? what,?really? absolutely loved it, You got 100k stripes for this one 'The Hitchhiker', the forever piece of noir time machine classic from beginning to end, The offensive line- up of Frank Lovejoy, Walter Talman, Edmon O'Brien all time masterpiece right here!!! You got gold bars for this one, do another end zone., what else can you pull out of the closet?

We all should know that Ida Lupino was a fantastic actress, but here she shows how great she was at directing, and writing. In just a little over an hour she builds the tension ,and suspense to a boiling point that grips you to the end, that some directors (today) can't do in 2,&1/2 hrs. The acting is fantastic, and the camera work is spot on. Thank you Timeless Classic for showing this gem. Bob. G

Another great classic movie to watch. You may also like these other great movies such as: The Hitchiker, Queen Bee, Wicked Woman, Whatever happen to Baby Jane, Key Largo, The Diafent One's, A patch of Blue, The heat of the night, Borderline, The Grapes of the Wrath and Caged are some of my most favorites. 😊

Directed by Ida Lupino! A woman ahead of her time. A great talent in front and behind the camera.

What a great movie. So much of it was shot in the claustrophobic atmsophere of a single car. Kept waiting for one of the two heroes to get control of that rifle and they kept leaving me hanging. The idea of the psycho batshit villain with a ‘dead eye’ or whatever that never closed so the two heroes never knew when he was sleeping was genius. Had a lot of fun.

The Hitch-Hiker and Outrage are both designated films in the National Film Registry, a great honor and testament to her talented contributions. My personal favs were her acting gigs in High Sierra and The Bigamist. She was gorgeous, and fit the femme fatale noir roles perfectly.

I like how the prelude to the movie says, 'after 70 mins' and accurately so. The film is gripping and time flies. The movies of today could take a lesson or two.

Thank you for posting these movies. I love these old classics. They were made when films were still an "art" form. The actors were great, the scripts were great, the stories were great and original, the cinematography was great and the directors were great. Movies today have weak scripts, regurgitated stories, mediocre actors and acting and it seems like one person writes all the stories. I am sick and tired of movies that inject the same old Hollywood agenda and propaganda that most the time have nothing to do with the story being told. As with all things today, when so much money is involved, the once "art" form has become a "science", meaning always the same formula. OK, great CGI, but so what!. These old classic movies did so much more with less than one tenth the budget and no CGI. How sad and disappointing, except now I spend more time watching classics that new movies.

Awesome flick. Prior to watching it all I knew of William Talman was the character of prosecutor Hamilton Burger in the Perry Mason series. In this movie he does a great job of portraying a menacing maniac.

My reason for watching this is twofold. I am a fan of old radio drama. Lovejoy was Randy Stone in Night Beat and O'Brien was on Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. And William Talman adds a perfect cherry on top of the sundae.

I watch this movie just see Edmund O’Brien knock the crap out of Talman at the end! 👍

Nice cast, with a real robotic meany ("keys"..."get down"...) with weak moments too, and two convincingly bewildered victims. Very efficient music too, accentuating the drama. Great job by Lupino, prooving already in the early 1950's with brio that women too could achieve great results as a producer. Nothing surprising today, but in those days...

It takes a little effort to find worthwhile modern movies to watch, especially if b&w. Some are out there...Im thinking about Johnny Depp in "Dead Man"; Lynch's, "The Elephant Man" and "Eraserhead"; Spielberg's, "Schindler's List"; Frank Miller's, "Sin City"; the Cohen Bros, "The Man Who Wasn't There"; Clooney's, "Good Night and Good Luck"; most recently Branaughs, "Belfast"; Scorsese's, "Raging Bull", and of course 2011's AA Best Picture "The Artist" to name a few...keep watching...not all are Hollywood garbage.

The Hitch-Hiker is regarded as the first American mainstream 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

I know you wrote your comment 10 months ago but I wanted to reply. As soon as I saw that Ida Lupino who's in this movie I wanted to watch it. I did know this was her first time directing a film. I know she directed at least one of the movie and was surprised when I read that. Thanks for the info.

While not a director of noir films, Dorothy Arzner directed over a dozen movies starting in 1927.

My Dad Told me something...NEVER PICK UP A HITCHHIKER.

Just came because of my favourite movie ever. The Hitcher.

great movie - thank you for the high quality upload!

Leith Stevens was also the musical director for many of the popular radio shows prior to the days of television in the last years of the Golden Age of Radio.

I was able to read the whole intro with time to spare! I sure wish they still did that. I read pretty quickly, but I find myself pausing or missing the end that is flashed across the screen. I seem to notice little odd things like that and wonder why has “it” been sped up so fast? Who can read that fast?!!

Excellent classic movie. Love it.😎

Yes I agree with comments so many great actor's in the 40 a I forgot how good they were
