The Devil Thumbs a Ride

(1947)Directed by Felix E. Feist62 minThriller, Crime
“He'll kill until he dies!”

Steve Morgan (Lawrence Tierney) has just killed a man in a holdup, and what he wants now is a ride to Los Angeles. He gets one from Jimmy Ferguson (Ted North), a friendly traveler who has no idea who he's letting into the car. Felix E. Feist keeps the whole trip close and cramped, and Morgan, easy and smiling, takes over a little more of it with every mile.
