Tonight’s episode of The Hitchhiker is a stylish homage to noir, starring Meg Foster as a femme fatale who is not quite as blind as she pretends to be.  This episode was directed by Phillip Noyce, who was also responsible for a film about an actual blind person, Blind Fury.  Interestingly enough, that film also featured Meg Foster, though in a very different role than the one that she plays here.

This episode originally aired on April 22nd, 1989.
