Hi-Jacked (1950) Crime/Film Noir | Jim Davis, Marsha Mae Jones, Sid Melton

[@estelleadamski308]

What a change in 70 yrs. Having a mink coat was sure a status symbol in the by-gone days. Now no one will touch them. This is straight up HWY 99, way before I-5. We lived in Fresno, and the in-laws lived in Orange County, so we were up & down the HWY 99 many times and we always stopped at Gorman for a break. A good movie. We have since moved out of CA.

Parents had big parties years ago. The beds would be covered with perfumed for coats !

[@billhowes7937]

When I was a kid I watched this movie with my Mom. We got a good laugh at Sid Melton asking for his first try with a gun. After that every time we saw him we always called him " First Gun". It was years before I actually knew his name 😂

Another Lippert production. Thanks for keeping these second-half-of-a-double-feature flics up and running.

[@kitparker9448]

Lots more on the way!

[@tammanyfields3583]

The Ridge Route! how cool is this ole flick.... A few years ago what is left of the Old Ridge Route we explored and it was really fun. Loved Palmdale was in the storyline. Lived there for 30 years before it turned for the worst which is sadly the present state.

[@marilaucher9989]

Most of the small towns where these movies were filmed or partially filmed like Palmdale are now slums.

[@tammanyfields3583]

The lead actor is the guy who played "Jock Ewing" on the show "Dallas" back in the 80s.

[@saulchapnick1566]

He was a ringer for Tom Berenger

[@FeelgoodMusic88]

On Dallas from 1978-81 when he died.

[@Retroscoop]

"Jock".... Ow dear yes, Dallas... Booze slurping millionaires who had nothing else to do apparntly than to make each other's life as miserable as possible.... Gosh, we low class folks loved it, it's like today's Real Crime Series in which preferably the super rich in "upscale neighbourhoods" get slaughtered, poisoned, cut into jigsaw pieces by another rich greedy person... Sometimes I wonder if these things aren't showed with so much fanfare to keep the low and middle incomes calm, the old "crime doesn't pay and the super rich aren't as happy as you think" approach

[@Ourladyrules]

very realistic film, the old trucks were very cool. 🎥🎥👍

Great Old Movie, Hijack Trucking Still Happening Today. Jim Davis always is a great Cowboy In Western Movies. Proved Himself Again In A Non Western Movie. He almost always played a Good Character in movies.

[@j3lny425]

Don't forget Myron Healy also great in westerns both film and TV

Jim Davis ( Jock Ewing ) was a great actor. Too bad he was an avid smoker. He must have smoked 500 cigarettes during this movie.

[@TimmysFavs]

It never stunted his growth though!

What producer ever thought it would add to the content value with a sid Melton appearance

[@saulchapnick1566]

Lippert’s wife family forced him to hire their “out of his luck” cousin.

[@pressureworks]

I doubt Lippert ever thought about content value.

[@michaelfitzgerald3467]

Lol, I know he's there for the lighthearted comic effect, he's just so annoying. He was in some movie where the lead is a bad guy who gets out of prison and ends up killing his dad while trying to rob him...Western Pacific Agent! Morris Carnovsky plays the dad. Sid had a great career!

[@discerningmind]

Sprocket Vault- you have the actress' name wrong in the title. It's "Marsha Jones" in the film credits.

[@kitparker9448]

Thank you for letting us know. I made the change. Best wishes, and thanks for watching. Kit

[@jesusapolicarpio-delacruz3851]

You can post that again....with "Indoor Smoking Allowed" and the aabbreviation then bfor CALIFORNIA was "CALIF." I stand corrected though!!!

[@bethwright8595]

Sad

[@telcobilly]

I stopped often at the next N bound exit from Gorman, the Flying J in Lebec as a former trucker

[@johnrudy9404]

You would think that all drivers would be informed about the crime wave. Very frustrating to watch. I would suspicious of any road change or event. But I guess It wouldn't make a good movie.

[@saulchapnick1566]

Tom Berenger’s first movie playing Joe

[@affliction6911]

All right KZbin says my comments should always be respectful, but first of all you really need to learn how to upload a movie correctly you plaster your suggestion of a movie while the movie is still playing at the end with the characters credits. If people want to watch other movies they can look in your playlist you don't have to ruin a movie especially if you are a person that plays these older movies in the highest standards you're not the only person that does this there's a lot of people here on KZbin that don't know how to correctly upload movies

Sid Melton is so unnecessary and annoying in almost any movie. I was tempted to bail on this one because of that. Over all the years, I can't recall ever laughing at Sid Melton.

And that’s why we continue to watch this movie. He is so unwatchable that we watch. Circle of life.
