DIARY OF A TEENAGE HITCH-HIKER (1979). MFTV movie of a group of girls, whose mean parent's won't buy them cars, so they "Have" to hitch-hike to get places, despite news reports of unknown predators attacking vulnerable teens.
Most of the fun of these films is the cast; this one has Charlene Tilton (DALLAS), Dick Van Patton (EIGHT IS ENOUGH) and Katherine Helmond (SOAP) as her parents, Craig T Nelson (POLTERGEIST and kind of scary in his scene), Christopher Knight as Charlene's boyfriend (and still wearing BRADY BUNCH style clothes) and Dominique Dunne (POLTERGEIST) whose fate in here is eerily prophetic..
Honestly, this hasn't aged well and doesn't resonate as it did at 17. Main reason I watched it back when was, while my contemporaries were drooling over Cheryl Tiegs/Farrah Fawcett-Major, I thought Katherine Helmond was quite hot, so would watch anything she was in. **
