Original RKO One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Ida Lupino film noir, THE HITCH-HIKER (1953) starring Edmund O’Brien, Frank Lovejoy, and William Talman. This excellent suspense thriller is the story of two fishermen (O’Brien and Lovejoy) who give a ride to a psychotic escaped convict (Talman). Talman, in one of best performances of his career, informs the other two that he intends to murder them when the ride is over. This is the only film noir to be directed by a woman, and Lupino’s almost documentary style gives this story the necessary grit and intensity. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition. Some touch-up at fold lines and fold intersections.
