At one point, Talman requires one fisherman to shoot a can out of the hand of another victim. The victim is told to hold the can close to his body, running a bigger risk of being shot by his companion.
Talk about sadistic!
It's too bad Talman didn't play more varied roles in his life. The chain-smoking actor is best known for his work on "Perry Mason."
His last role was in an anti-smoking commercial after he learned he had lung cancer and was fighting for his life. Talman died of the disease before the commercial ever ran.
You can see the commercial at www.youtube.com and a snippet from "Hitch-Hiker." Just type Talman's name into the search engine.
"Hitch-Hiker" has aired on Turner Classic Movies and is available on DVD.
If you like dark, old, black-and-white movies, this is a great, hidden gem.
