November 11: Detour
The most notorious of the "Poverty Row" B-movie noirs, Detour follows Tom Neal's desperate hitchhiker as he narrates his own downfall from a roadside diner stool, tracing the moment his bad luck and bad choices fuse into fate. Ann Savage’s snarling femme fatale burns through the frame, leaving no earth unscorched.
Made for pennies and shot in just a few days, the Detour is a pure distillation of noir fatalism. It's brief, efficient, and a nasty piece of work.
"One of the most daring and thoroughly perverse works of art ever to come out of Hollywood." —Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
"It lives on, haunting and creepy, an embodiment of the guilty soul of film noir. No one who has seen it has easily forgotten it." —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
