Description
The Hitch-Hiker (RKO, 1953). Folded, Very Fine-. Six Sheet (81" X 81").This visually arresting poster for The Hitch-Hiker captures the film's atmosphere of paranoia and danger through its stark red palette and confrontational composition. Directed by Ida Lupino, one of the few women filmmakers working in Hollywood's Golden Age, it stands as a landmark in film noir history. Coming in four panels as originally printed, expected wear includes light edge wear and smudges/scuffs, slight fold wear and chips, creases, minor misfolds, mostly tears/splits, and significant fold/crossfold separation.
