“Detour, Edgar G. Ulmer. Look, if I had my way I would just be grabbing every '40s film noir that they had here in the closet, but this, it's 69 minutes long. It is the darkest, bleakest film noir. This, if you want to learn how to do efficiency in storytelling and characterization. Tom Neal, who's perfectly cast because basically his life was paralleling the life of the doomed protagonist in this movie. And then Ann Savage is Vera, maybe one of the scariest film noir femme fatales.”
