On tonight’s episode of The Hitchhiker, Michael Woods plays a cocky gigolo who spends the weekend at a cabin with an alcoholic director (Jerry Orbach) and his sultry wife (Season Hubley).  When Hubley suggests that Woods murder her husband, it seems like a standard noir-situation but it become obvious that Orbach is not quite as clueless as Woods assumed.  Who is playing which game?

This is an enjoyable episode, largely due to the performance of the wonderful Jerry Orbach.  This episode originally aired on May 12th, 1987.
