At 15 minutes at a time, I just got done watching “The Hitchhiker” that you had posted last week!
Fun movies. Some parts are better than the new movies (building of suspense, etc.). Although I think the endings of some of these old movies lack something. And the gunfight and fist-fight scenes can be pretty lame.
Will put this one on and check it out!
As an alternative to u-toob (and the possibility of starting a movie chain only to find one “episode” missing) I look for movies at Stagevu.com. They had The Big Heat there: http://stagevu.com/video/wsyiowzxfrvf
I always download it and then watch it instead of streaming ;’)
Glad you enjoyed The Hitchhiker. I would agree the ending was a bit of a letdown. It felt a little rushed and didn’t really cap the great suspense leading up to as well as it might have. I figure it was a consequence of a limited budget and time limits - the studios were pretty tight-fisted when it came to some of the B-noirs.
I hope I can post more A-listers like The Big Heat as time goes by.
