Hitchhike! is a 1974 American TV film directed by Gordon Hessler.
A Los Angeles woman, traveling to San Francisco to visit her sister, picks up a hitchhiker who turns out to be a psychotic killer.
Leachman said she did it because it was work, "I like a change of pace" and "there are so many things you can do if the character is right."[1]
The Los Angeles Times called it "a trite suspenser given dimension by Cloris Leachman."[2]
