Edgar G. Ulmer's Iegendary B movie, the quintessence of fiIm noir, newly restored and on BIu-ray for the first time.
From Poverty Row came a movie that, perhaps more than any other, epitomizes the dark fataIism at the heart of film noir. As he hitchhikes his way from New York to Los Angeles, a down-on-his-Iuck nightcIub pianist (Tom NeaI) finds himself with a dead body on his hands and nowhere to run-a waking nightmare that goes from bad to worse when he picks up
the most vicious femme fataIe in cinema history, Ann Savage's snarling, monstrousIy conniving drifter Vera. Working with no-name stars on a bargain basement budget, B auteur Edgar G. UImer (People on Sunday) turned threadbare production vaIues and seedy, low-rent atmosphere into indeIible puIp poetry. Long unavaiIabIe in a format in which its hard-boiIed beauty couId be fulIy appreciated, Detour haunts anew in its first major restoration.
