We discuss a noir classic: The Hitch-Hiker is a 1953 American film co written and directed by Ida Lupino starring Edmond O’Brien, William Talman and Frank Lovejoy. It follows two friends taken hostage by a hitchhiker during an automobile trip to Mexico. It was 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." This episode was recorded in person at River North Media in Denver, CO.
