It’s another film noir directed by Ida Lupino. Two hunting buddies who pick up a mysterious hitchhiker. It was based on a story by screenwriter Daniel Mainwaring, who was blacklisted for being a communist.
This is a tremendously good and suspenseful film. It’s really cool to see William Talman from Perry Mason playing a grimy, evil bad guy. This is one of the real gems here.
This was a pretty good movie,good plot,good actors and the first movie I’ve seen William Talman play in,
outside of the prosecutor in the Perry Mason series.
It is. Ida Lupino was groundbreaking as a woman director, almost unique. The other movie I have here that she starred in and directed is The Bigamist, which is also an excellent suspenseful film. It’s not really gritty like this one, but it’s really well done. The “other wife” is Joan Fontaine, so how can you beat that duo?
There are a few episodes with these ladies in Four Star Playhouse.
The suspense was almost too much. Very real.
This was a really good movie. It’s neat to see William Talman in this role. I don’t think I ever saw him do anything but Perry Mason before.

I like the matter-of-fact ending. Nothing fancy, just arrested and taken away. The way all bad guy movies should end.
Real good movie.

Cool movie. Shame they didn’t get to go fishing in the end.

I wonder if this film was the inspiration for the 1986 movie “The Hitcher” with Rutger Hauer? I love film Noir, and this was a pretty good one!
Never saw this movie before but it certainly was a great and suspenseful. Thanks!!
