Il est tout de même dommage que je ne puisse voir des films de qualité, et ce au regard de l'absence de sous-titre français ; effectivement, j'aime beaucoup - pour moi qui suis cinéphile - votre chaîne, qui est de grande qualité cinématographique.

merciiiii

@@CultCinemaClassics una pregunta, porque esta pelicula esta en color en el otro canal, si se supone que el color salio en los años 70, y aqui esta la pelicula en blanco y negro?

Ida Lupino was such a talent. Born into a theatrical family in England, she'd memorised all of Shakespeare's female roles by the age 10 ! She was an actress, writer, co-producer and director and even wrote music as a hobby. A pioneer who showed that women could direct films if only given the chance. Her films often tackled social issues eg Not Wanted in 1949 about an unmarried mother and The Bigamist in 1953. This is a really tense drama with great performances from the three main characters. I like the fact that the Mexican characters speak Spanish, all adds to the authenticity. A film from 70 years ago which is still great today.

[@kenneththompson8933]

A hugely underrated actress as well.

[@vidhushekhar17]

I loved The Bigamist. Lots of love from India.

[@rosalindwyatt8274]

Thanks for sharing this information! I watched this film on a whim having not heard of it before, and didn't know any of that. I'm really interested in watching more of her work now. Cheers!

[@baronsaturday9560]

I love the fact that it was a woman who made this raw story with that great, tough leading actor. At the time that was (probably) unheard of. There's still not too many women directors who film raw movies like that..

[@rafaelmadrigal9038]

I really enjoyed this movie, it kept me glued to the screen all throughout the movie. Such great acting on their part to keep the movie going strong from beginning to end. I have to tip my hat to them. They need get an Oscar for their part. This is one movie I will never forget.

[@susannay.3437]

Very riveting. I enjoyed this immensely. Great actors. It reminds me unfortunately of my grandmother's youngest brother, who was murdered by a hitchhiker he picked up late one night on his way back to his home in Altoona, PA. He was a chaplain in the war--in the European theater--and had been wounded and walked with a cane. It was the only time my mother said she saw my grandmother cry, losing her youngest brother in this way. It was 1951, I believe.

[@anonagain]

The film was marketed with the tagline: "When was the last time you invited death into your car?" Thanks @CCC!

[@tomford4180]

Wow! Little Ida Lupino can make one hell of a taut thriller. This was great. I'll have to seriously look up her other films. You have an amazing collection and excellent taste in your selections of Cult Cinema Classics. I promise that if you keep a posting 'em, I'll keep a watching 'em. Thanks again CCF. Your channel is THE BEST!

[@samaraisnt]

Little...? Wonder if you'd apply the same adjective to an adult man. Except I know you wouldn't. This is why great female directors don't get as many opportunities, pervading condescending attitudes like yours.

[@williamconnelly8023]

I remember Talman's public service commercials about smoking. He even stated that he was dying.

[@Godgirl1966]

I'm glad the two "buddies" came out alive. They were loyal to each other. I'm glad he wacked him several punches😂

[@pepeboy234]

CCC always has the best quality films.

[@MilesCraft1]

Except when they get colorized. Those ones are not very well colorized. The ones shown in their original formats, be it black and white or originally filmed in color, now those, usually uploaded in HD are of great quality. Those copies of films I really like.

Qualité d'image irréprochable. Et encore des sous titres français. Je vous aime. Encore merci ^^

The classic that inspired another cult classic: The Hitcher Of course had to be made by the great Ida Lupino

[@jonnieinbangkok]

It's so interesting seeing the District Attorney playing a crazed psychotic killer. Such a great tight thriller by the talented Ida "The doors made me do it...the doors made me do it!" Lupino.

[@anadisaikia1828]

Such a concise tight forceful 70 minutes. full HD too! great stuff

[@deloriserodriguez6005]

😊❤❤❤ THIS BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC MOVIE. GREAT ACTING TOO. THERE ARE OTHERS GREAT MOVIES FROM THE 1940 TO. 1950'S

[@db4194]

Obviously a masterpiece. Ida Lupino was a great director. Possibly the only film noir set in a desert?

[@hammadoolass]

I haven't picked up a hitchhiker ever since I saw The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer -- scared the pants off me

[@jonnieinbangkok]

Good move.

[@tonytafoya6217]

Smart. But if ... On some stormy night, out in the middle of nowhere, you should pick me up hitching ... Well ... Let's just say this: You'd still be laughing your ass off ... Miles down the road from where you dropped me off. And you'd feel good about yourself for helping me out. I've done a lot of hitching in my time. But that was in the good ol days. Nowadays people are paranoid. Like you. Can't blame em though.

[@hammadoolass]

@@tonytafoya6217 While hitching through Europe I was given a lift by two truck-drivers in Italy. Not realising I understood Italian they started arguing about which of them was going to "have" me first on the bunk at the back. At that point I clutched my stomach and started groaning. They asked what was wrong and I pointed to my stomach and said: "Bambino". The brakes were slammed on and I was dumped out of that truck so fast. That was scary.

[@1SeanBond]

Thank's CCC for another great classic! We appreciate the effort! A great veiw !✌👍

[@binghamguevara6814]

There are two scenes from this film that reminded me of other movies: the gun reveal at 6:45 looks similar to the 'Marvin and the Gun' incident from Pulp Fiction and the film's clothes-switching twist at the end seems a lot like the ending of Crocodile Dundee 2.

[@rajindersingh8730]

Absolutely brilliant. Gripping and very tense from the get go. Enjoy

[@baronsaturday9560]

I love this movie. Jim Morrison of The Doors got the idea of a (killing) hitchhiker script because of this movie. You can see Morrison's script in one of his poetry books + in his swansong 'Riders On The Storm' he talks about a killing hitchhiker too (+ in the special version on the album 'An American Prayer') "The hitchhiker stood by the side o/t road and levelled his thumb in the calm calculus of reason". That's his personal image/symbol: the hitchhiker, alone, by the side of the open road. These were among the last lines he wrote in his Paris Journal in '71. PS: The movie 'The Hitcher' with Rutger Hauer was inspired by Morrison's script too. 👍🏝🏜🚙

[@louisrojas2856]

Excelent old fashioned movie. Good action from the beginning.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Good movie. Talman was great in this.

[@capricorn1116]

Frank Lovejoy was a great actor

[@fiddlefaddle1]

I couldn't believe that was William Talman. He played Hamilton Burger, the district attorney in Perry Mason. He makes a pretty good bad guy. First time I saw Ida Lupino was in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. She was gorgeous.

Ida Lupino with Edward G Robinson in the 1941 Sea Wolf was her best movie.

Many, many thanks for the upload! Excellent film. Apparently the only "film noir" directed by a lady (at least during the "film noir" period).

[@factenter6787]

It was ironic when Talman's character didn't pick up the packet of Chesterfields that fell out of the first couple's car and later refused the cigarette offered to him. In fact Talman was a chain smoker and died of lung cancer.

For those that don't know (but a lot of y'all probably do), the murderer in this movie is portrayed by William Talman. Most famous for his role as L.A. District Attorney Hamilton Burger from the "Perry Mason" t.v. series.

[@daisywomack7587]

I can see how Mr. Talman could have easily been type cast--sort of squirrely evil eyes--but yeah made goodguy with Perry Mason
