	Variety.com - Reviews - Edgar G. Ulmer's Yiddish Films
		Edgar G. Ulmer helmed the classic horror film "The Black Cat" (1934) and the low-budget film noir favorite "Detour""Detour" (1945) but also toiled in the field of indie ethnic films, now largely forgotten.
		The films are supplemented largely by text, much of it written by film critic J. Hoberman or adapted from his standard reference on Yiddish cinema, "Bridge of Light." There are some additional materials that should delight specialized audiences as well.
		Docu also provides clips of David Opatashu for "The Light Ahead" and Leo Fuchs for "American Matchmaker." Latter also features Fuchs and Yetta Zwerling in an eccentric Yiddish short entitled "I Want to Be a Boarder," where a squabbling married couple renew their romance by pretending to be a boarder and a landlady.

	San Francisco Bay Guardian Arts and Entertainment
		True, there are plenty of low-budget film noirs and creature features floating around, but it's hard to find anything as defiantly different a picture as Ulmer's Detour (1945), a mangled collision of screwball comedy and on-the-road crime preceding Quentin Tarantino's work by some five decades.
		Part of the same German émigré movement that swept figures like Murnau, Lorre, Lang, and Von Sternberg over to Hollywood, Ulmer was as idiosyncratic as they come; his oeuvre plays like one extended detour from the studio style most of us associate with '30s and '40s American filmmaking.
		Ulmer was hardly the only filmmaker to carve out a unique cinematic style during the studio era, but it's hard to fathom anyone doing it with less in the way of sets, acting talent, and general cash flow.

	DVD Verdict Review - Detour
		It was filmed on Ulmer's usual 6-day schedule for PRC (Producers Releasing Corporation), one of the Hollywood "poverty row" studios, in 1945.
		As the film noir style became recognized and began to be defined by European film analysts in the late 1940s and 1950s, Detour was soon identified as one of film noir's most notable examples.
		Tom Neal who plays Al Roberts actually had a career of over 6 dozen films, but all were second features, many for PRC and mostly forgotten now with the exception of Detour.

	Turner Classic Movies This Month Article
		Detour (1945), thanks to Ulmer's lurid imagination, is the definitive low-budget film noir.
		Ulmer (1904-1972), who studied architecture and philosophy in his native Vienna, designed sets for famed stage director Max Reinhardt and was an assistant to filmmaker F. Murnau, who brought Ulmer to Hollywood.
		Another of Ulmer's famed low-budget noir thrillers is Strange Illusion (1945), a contemporary variation of Shakespeare's Hamlet in which a young man finds his nightmare coming to life.

	Films of Edgar G Ulmer
		There, among many other low-budget genre films, he made the quintessential film noir, Detour in 1945; his last movies were produced in Europe.
		Ulmer was born in what is now the Czech republic and raised in imperial Vienna; originally a student of architecture, he broke into the film industry as a teenager and, serving mainly as a set designer, shuttled back and forth between Berlin and Hollywood through the early ‘30s.
		An underground auteur, largely unrecognized during his lifetime, Ulmer has since taken his place among cinema’s legendary figures—an inspiration for the French new wave and a precursor of the American independent film movement, as well as an innovative and unique stylist in his own right.

	Images - Rabid Dogs
		Rabid Dogs is to Bava's career what Detour (1945) is to the filmography of Edgar G. Ulmer, a minimalist noir masterpiece that shows how much drama he was capable of conjuring onscreen with little or no means.
		The violent, pessimistic and darkly ironical story of Rabid Dogs says much about why Bava sought refuge in art, why fear was his favorite subject, and why he felt compelled to stylize everything in his films--from the colored gel lighting that illumined his actors, to their unrelenting acts of violence.
		One gets the feeling that Bava, who was working less often than he would have liked after turning 60, was hoping that this project would redefine him as a contemporary, hard-edged filmmaker.

	MovieMaker Magazine Issue #16 The Father of Film Noir: Edward Dmytryk
		Dmytryk's next two films,Cornered (1946) and Crossfire, along with Edgar Ulmer's Detour (1945) and Howard Hawks's The Big Sleep (1945), elevated the experimental style into a mythic art form, the effects of which continue to resonate through popular culture.
		One of the finest examples of film noir is Edward Dmytryk's Crossfire (1947), a tense, talky thriller shot entirely at night and recognized as the first Hollywood film to deal with the subject of racial bigotry.
		By the time he left moviemaking in the 1970s to teach at the U.S.C. Film School, Dmytryk had directed 57 features, including such classics as The Caine Mutiny, The Young Lions and Raintree County, and worked with such legendary actors as Spencer Tracy, Clark Gable, and John Wayne.

	Bright Lights Film Journal Film Noir and Neo-Noir
		Detour (1945) has one of the more convoluted plots in noir, packing a flashback structure, an extended voiceover, a cross-country trek, a mysterious death, an "accidental" murder, an identity exchange, an unforgettable femme fatale, and one of the most pathetic, masochistic antiheroes ever into its 67-minute running time.
		The roots of noir go back to German Expressionism, and there's no movie that's more German, Expressionist, or noir than Fritz Lang's masterful M (1931).
		Fritz Lang brings the terrors of noir into the bright kitchens of America.

	Edgar G. Ulmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Film director Edgar G. Ulmer (1904-1972) is mostly remembered for the movies The Black Cat (1934) and Detour (1945).
		Ulmer's career was spent mostly in Poverty Row cinema: after an early success at Universal with The Black Cat, Ulmer, for both personal reasons and a desire for creative independence, left the major studios behind.
		Ulmer then found a niche making melodramas on tiny budgets and with often unpromising scripts and actors for PRC (Producers Releasing Corporation).
