Detour (Full-Length Movie. 1945)

Description

This noir is more frightening than gritty in its domino-like series of events. The protagonist Al, played by Tom Neal, starts out as kind of a hard-bitten wannabe - he'd like to think he's tough and callous, but he still has a soft spot for his singer/lover Sue (Claudia Drake). When a grifter who picked him up hitchhiking dies unexpectedly, Al's only-partly-affected cynicism convinces him that he would be presumed guilty of the man's murder. From there, it's a slow descent into fear, blackmail and coercion, prodded along by Ann Savage's slightly over-hardened femme fatale. By the time the end arrives, it's hard to see how things could have unfolded any differently.
