Hitchhiker

from Film Optimists Hosted by Film Optimists

This episode marks a couple of firsts on the podcast as we talk about Ida Lupino’s film noir, Hitchhiker (1953). This is our first film we’ve talked about that is directed by a woman, and this film in particular is considered the first film noir film directed by a woman. We’re excited to discuss the film’s merits on its own, but also what it has done for women in film overall and our opinions on this matter. You can join the conversation by emailing us at [email protected] or DM us on twitter @filmoptimists. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter for more content.
