Detour

USA 1945, 65 minutes, B/W
Dir. Edgar G. Ulmer
Rating: [G]
Genres: Classics, Suspense/Crime / Film Noir, Girl-centric

Aroview: Often touted as the best B-movie ever made, this blistering film noir upstaged many of the Hollywood main features it was paired with. Short on budget and running time, but huge on sheer attitude, Ann Savage's ghastly femme fatale is one of the most wicked ever committed to film.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
4 stars (Very Good) Fatalistic, claustrophobic, every turn in the downward spiral registering on Tom Neal's tormented matinee-idol features. Wonderfully oppressive. ~HiFi
