HITCH-HIKER, THE (1953) Set of 12 photos

[Hollywood]: RKO, 1953. Set of twelve (12) vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white print still photos, USA. This grim movie, about two men on a fishing trip who pick up two hitchhikers who turn out to be murderous escaped prisoners, is remarkable in its own right as a classic low-budget suspense film. But it is also a landmark, as the first film noir directed by a woman. The redoubtable Ida Lupino masterfully helmed this classic.

These photos wonderfully illustrate the tension in the film. Spotting in bottom margin of one, some scattered signs of light use, VERY GOOD.
