C&L's Sat Nite Chiller Theater: Detour (1945)

A classic made on a shoe-string, wartime budget. Amazing.
By driftglass — September 15, 2018

This gem was directed by "King of the Bs" Edgar G. Ulmer, who was famous for turning short shooting schecdules and a shoe-string budgets to tight little works of cinematic art. "Detour" was shot in six days for a few thousand dollars and, 73 years later, remains a classic of the genre.

Enjoy!
