I only remember one scene. A dark-haired girl hitchhiking is picked up by a guy in a car--he has a tray full of sunglasses and forces her to try on different pairs-he gets mad until he finds a pair he thinks suits her. She is uncomfortable and sits silently as he drives. Can't remember anything about it, who was in it etc.

"Breezy" from 1973 begins with a dark-haired girl hitchhiking and getting a ride from a guy. Can't remember if sunglasses were involved and I can't find a clip of it, but I thought I'd suggest it in case you want to investigate further.

No I don't think so. I think it was late 70s-early 80s and may have been a tv-movie. I know the girl had dark hair, and the guy was saying things like: "no this isn't right one-try this.."
I haven't seen Breezy but looked at the script and there's no dialogue about glasses from what I can see. And I don't think the girl escaped in the movie I saw--something happened--but I don't remember what the movie was even about. I just remember the girl uncomfortable being forced to try on sunglasses with this weird Randy Quaid-type guy (the guy had dark hair too I think).

Prime etc.I remember a 1979 TV movie called Diary of a Teenage Hitchhiker, starring Charlene Tilton, which matches that description. The dark-haired girl sounds like Dominique Dunne (left) to me.

Looks like he solved it. Hopefully Prime will mark it in the OP title as solved, in keeping with tradition of the old INTK board. Better yet, mark it solved by movielover. I had that done for me a few times on IMDb. It made me feel special for a little while, like some kind of Greek hero with a wreath of laurel upon his head. |

As soon as I read this post I flashed back on that sunglasses scene--I don't know why that scene seemed so creepy to me when I first saw this TV movie in 1979 that I still remember it 40+ years later.
This was one of a series of "Diary of/Portrait of" message TV movies directed at teens in that era, and they were very popular at the time.
A tragic footnote to this movie: Dominique Dunne's character is savagely assaulted by the stranger with the sunglasses (IIRC, he was another creep, but not the same one who was murdering girls). She does manage to survive the assault. Ironically, it wasn't a stranger she had to fear; Dunne would be murdered some years later by her ex-boyfriend.

I remember seeing this late 70s tv movie of the week. It was fun and engaging for all the familiar reasons. My most vivid recall of Charlene Tilton was on "Dallas", whenever she'd get upset, which was all the time, she'd be running around the ranch in very, very high inch heels. Standing next to these two girls at eye level, more or less, she has to be wearing heels. She looks like she is getting ready to topple over. Girl was short. Like 4'8" short. The girl on the right looks a little like Sigourney Weaver.

I put a request in every few years and it has never been solved. Care to try? I will give it its own thread.

We had some collaborative ones on the old INTK board occasionally.

My interest is that the movie is based upon a historical incident. The survivors started a colony near here, complete with a museum, but they have never heard of this movie, a dramatisation of the events that got them here.
