Detour (1945) at Bottom Feeder Books
About this Event
Then best known for the stark expressionism of The Black Cat a decade prior, Ulmer fired off a wildly prolific streak of film noir, swashbucklers, and other low-budget curiosities in the 1940s. Detour eventually emerged as a cult-noir classic from this period, in its grimy economy and smothering foggy backdrops. A tortured nightclub pianist (Tom Neal) hitchhikes across the country to his girlfriend in Los Angeles, and crosses paths with a scratched-up bookie and an indelible femme fatale (Ann Savage); what could go wrong!
