Picture of the day

The Hitch-Hiker is a 1953 American independent film noir thriller co-written and directed by Ida Lupino and starring Edmond O'Brien, William Talman, and Frank Lovejoy. Based on the 1950 killing spree of Billy Cook, the film follows two friends who are taken hostage by a murderous hitchhiker during an automobile trip to Mexico. The Hitch-Hiker was the first American mainstream film noir directed by a woman, and premiered in Boston on March 20, 1953, to little fanfare. The film was marketed with the tagline: "When was the last time you invited death into your car?" It was selected in 1998 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".Film credit: Ida Lupino
