Wow, Ann Savage is a savage in this role. That Vera is one scary character.

It happened for "no good reason at all," except that he dragged the guy's body into a ditch, took his wallet and his car and pretended to be him. In the voice over, Al tries very hard to justify his actions. After all, what choice did he have in the matter? But the excuses fall flat. For me that is film noir: not that it happened for no good reason, but because an otherwise honest guy crossed a line that there was no turning back from.

So if he played it straight and went to the hospital or a doctor he probably would have been cleared of any blame, but then we wouldn't have had this movie.

HE GOT CAUGHT IN THE RAIN LIKE ROBERTS DID. PLAIN & SIMPLE.

All sorts of 1940s slang, like in Barbara Stanwyck's "Ball of Fire." Fun to hear those that lasted ("Siamese twins," "remember who's boss") and others that didn't ("kiss him with a wrench," "he was a piece 'a cheese"). Incidentally, one of the best lines in "Detour" is one nobody ever mentions. When Vera is trying - and failing - to seduce the Neal character, she tosses off a brilliantly bitter and truly ageless line that reflected someone's very real and deep understanding of social interaction. 'So what got us off on this subject anyway... We'll be discussing politics next." The third rail of civilized discourse - politics. Talk about taking a sideswipe with a Mack truck.

Based on Detour the 1939 novel by Martin M. Goldsmith....I love movies based on books.....purr

Ended like a grade school story. Johnny woke up and it was all a bad dream. What a pantload of an ending. In real life L.A. of 1945, the guy runs the car over a cliff on Mulholland Drive, hitchhikes back into town, calls up his sweetie with a pocketful of cash and disappears into the city to join the Musicians Union and tinkle the ivories for some big band..

I agree, should still be used today. Another one I like from that era is "what of it?" and "nothing doing".

This is the best print I've seen of this public domain film.

The plot takes off from an implausible premise. He could have just driven to the next truck stop, called the police, and related what happened. He wouldn't be suspected of robbery if he refrained from taking the guy's money. So there would be no motive, and the guy had a health condition. Then he offers a hitchhiker a ride while driving a dead man's car he had stolen? At the very least that would be asking for trouble.

Great classic, a good lesson too... just be honest and face the music. Also illustrates how every choice and event can change everything

Correct, we can choose an upward spiral or a downward spiral.

He would never have got away with impersonating Haskell. He was even getting himself in a jam convincing the salesman that he was the owner of the car through not knowing his insurance details.

James, yes, Vera might have thought of that if she hadn't been a complete whacko!😂

Thanks for uploading classic movies I really appreciate it

I would have loved to live during this era. I would have had a farm, married to a farmer in the Midwest, preferred Norwegian, and raised 10 children and lots of animals.

OUT OF THE PAST great too. Don't know why I'd never heard of this one till today....

My first film noir. I don't think there are many left that I haven't seen.

Saw this on Cheap DVD years ago. I was so intrigued by this style of movie after this. 10/10

WOW! What a convertible! Is that a Lincoln? Seems like all trademark traces have been removed for the film's on-the-cheap producers, but that's one fine classic old auto indeed! And what a handsome guy, that Tom Neal! Man alive, after a google search, it seems that his previous-to-acting stint as a boxer plagued him Mike Tyson style, with him eventually being arrested for assault and battery and then later being convicted of manslaughter! Geez, some people just don't know how good their future will be and do all they can to self-destruct. Really sad that he died of an apparent heart attack at only age 58, and as an ex-con gardener in Palm Springs. Hollywood has a million sad stories of lives all too short lived.

bill ding Thanks so much for the details about that Lincoln. What a way to celebrate the USA helping to end World War Two! Well, not all war everywhere at the time, as world history well knows, but geez what a car nonetheless!

Actually that is a 1941 Lincoln Continental, you can distinguish by the grill..........this movie came out in 1945, no new civilian cars were built since early '42 because of the war effort, and the 1946 models were still to be released, pretty much just warmed over pre-war models....the '46 looks about the same as a '41 with just grill and tail light changes.........

Talk about a victim of circumstance ! A good movie.

Neal was a physically handsome dude but what a tortured life he had!

Have to agree with you Denise. I've watched this film numerous times over the last 20 years or so, and each time I come away with a slightly altered view. Vera is a unique character in noir in that there is no vulnerability in her except through her avarice and blind greed. Detour was filmed over a two week period for $30,000. After 70 years the viewers have got their money's worth and more.

there's some doubt about your comment on the budget. From Wiki--"In 1972, Ulmer said in an interview that the film was shot in six days. However, in a 2004 documentary, Ulmer’s daughter Arianne presented a shooting script title page which noted, "June 14, 1945-June 29. Camera days 14." Moreover, Ann Savage was contracted to PRC for the production of Detour for three six-day weeks, and she later said the film was shot in four six-day weeks, with an additional four days of location work in the desert at Lancaster, California. While popular belief long held that Detour was shot for about $20,000,[ Noah Isenberg, in conducting research for his book on the film, discovered that the film's actual cost was upwards of $100,000.
