	Detour (1945 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Detour is a 1945 film noir cult classic that stars Tom Neal, Ann Savage, Claudia Drake and Edmund MacDonald.
		To preserve the films right-to-left orientation used in the cross-country scenes, the movie's director reversed many of the hitchhiking shots so that now the cars are on the wrong side of the road.
		The movie was adapted by Martin Goldsmith and Martin Mooney (uncredited) from Martin Goldsmith's novel, and was directed by Edgar G. Ulmer.

	Detour (1946) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Detour is one of the flest film noir ever produced during the classic 1935 to 1955 period.
		Detour spins the forbidding tale of Al Roberts (Tom Neal), a piano-player in a smoky New York nightclub.
		Certainly, a lot of the classic film noir movies draw their themes from existential ideas, but a good noir doesn't need existentialism to be great.

	Detour Movie Poster
		Detour starts off horribly, and turns into a pretty good flic-i-tation, so hang in there with this one.
		In 1992, Detour was re-made, starring Tom Neal's son, Tom Neal, Jr., usually virtually indentical dialog from the original film.
		By the way, the only movie poster I've been able to find with a vintage Lincoln on it is from the 1975 flic, The McCullochs.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Detour (1945), Edgar G. Ulmer, Tom Neal, Ann Savage, dvd review
		Detour, for those who have not seen it, may be the greatest achievement in B-movie making in history.
		In a lesser movie, that would have been the whole plot, but Goldsmith and Ulmer are more interested in the dynamic between the two characters, and that plot never comes to pass.
		Perhaps the answer is that Detour is one of those movies that pokes a hole in the whole "auteur" theory, and that two artists were responsible for such a great movie.

	Detour (1945) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Detour released in 1945 Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and shot in 6 days for a very small budget, is a masterpiece and is very entertaining.
		Detour was released in 1945, and it looks good and old-fashioned, because of the song that is sung "I can't believe that your in love with me" which is a song from the early 1940's maybe even the 1930's, which of course wasn't old when this movie was made.
		Detour for those reasons is extremely offbeat, considering when it was made, (Trust me I've seen tons of movies from that era) rating 4 stars out of 4 stars.

	Savant Review: DETOUR
		Detour was not filmed solely in front of a rear-projection screen, and is not the cheapest film ever made, as is often repeated in reviews.
		Savage is as shrill as a raw nerve and as jarring as fingernails on a chalkboard, and her Vera is a disheveled, unredeemed tramp.
		It is a sad state of affairs when movies appear to be unrestorable; one wonders if some archive here or overseas has another original print in better condition, or one with damage occurring in different places.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Great Movies :: Detour (xhtml) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This movie from Hollywood's poverty row, shot in six days, filled with technical errors and ham-handed narrative, starring a man who can only pout and a woman who can only sneer, should have faded from sight soon after it was released in 1945.
		``Detour'' tells the story of Al Roberts, played by Tom Neal as a petulant loser with haunted eyes and a weak mouth, who plays piano in a nightclub and is in love, or says he is, with a singer named Sue.
		Most critics of ``Detour'' have taken Al's story at face value: He was unlucky in love, he lost the good girl and was savaged by the bad girl, he was an innocent bystander who looked guilty even to himself.

	detour
		"Detour" was so much applauded by film buffs, it has now reached classical cult status in film lore and is even revered by noted directors such as Martin Scorsese.
		It was first held-up by the French movie critics as a work of true art, when they discovered the neglected film in 1950.
		Al takes a detour from his original destination as he decides he can't see Sue like he is, and turns back to the diner in Nevada where he was first seen before the flashback started and he was hitching a ride in the rain back east.

	Self-referential movies: Detour
		Detour is far from the example of intentionally alienating process shots and expressive use of bad acting that I'd hoped for.
		Toward the end of the movie, Al's voiceover tells us, "If this were fiction, I'd fall in love with Vera..." and he spins out a plot that would make a much more conventional and satisfying movie that the one we're trapped in at the moment.
		Detour may be heavily into stock footage and lab-created effects, but it has a lot of integrity.

	DVD Verdict Review - Detour
		The detour of the title is the figurative fork in the road that occurs when Al gets the ride from Charles Haskell.
		I'm happy to have Detour in my collection because of the film's value to me, but it's not a disc I'll be using with any pride to show off either DVD's capabilities or integrity in packaging.

	dOc DVD Review: Detour (1945)
		Detour is the first Poverty Row film to be chosen for preservation by the Library Of Congress.
		The bad news is that this film is in pretty bad shape, and while it is still watchable, the effects of over a half a century of neglect are very evident.
		This release of Detour is a fine example of what happens when a great film is left neglected, as the packaging boasts a pristine, new, beautifully restored transfer from the original nitrate masters.

		"Detour," directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, is one of the few rare motion pictures of any era that stays with you long after the credits fade away.
		In fact, the entire movie was essentially filmed in a car with a rear projection of California landscape and a hotel room.
		It helps to make a good movie a great one, but more important is a good story and fine characters, and if anything, "Detour" more than makes up for its literal flaws with strong storytelling.

	Detour
		It is a disjointed movie, filled with non-sequiturs and broadly pitched performances that take the movie out of the realm of the here and now and into the land dreams and hallucinations.
		The movie is straightforward enough in telling us all this, but it is riddled with those non-sequiturs I mentioned, those strangely out of place coincidences.
		This has a curious side effect: Detour may well be the only film in history that improves in inverse proportion to the quality of the print.

	[No title]
		Demand for "online" movie rentals - really rental by mail, done through a Web site has surged in the past year as more consumers replace their aging VCRs with cheaper and better quality DVD players and turn to the Internet to get their DVD fixes rather than their local movie rental emporiums.
		Their proliferation reflects a sudden, dramatic detour for movie watchers, who now seem inclined to wait a day or two to get the movie they want, rather than schlep out to the video store.
		Plus, entrenched consumer habits needed to be changed - convincing consumers to stock up on their movies three and four at a time for a week or a month rather than renting one at a time for a day or two.

	Horror Movie Review \| Detour (2003) Ashley Elizabeth, Jill Jacobs
		Perhaps realizing that their film is a bit clunky in the early parts, director Steve Taylor and co-writer Steve Grabowsky tosses in a bloody killing in the desert to open the film.
		The thing about the cast of characters in "Detour" and other films with similar cast makeup is this: in real life, these people would never even speak to each other.
		Highly influenced by the outback cannibal movies of the '70s and immersed in new millennium sensibilities, "Detour" is predictable from the word "go".

	Movie Info for Detour on MSN Movies
		The original movie on which this independently filmed remake is based was something of an accident.
		Though it evidently lacked a well-made script or a decent budget and shooting schedule, the nightmarish mood that the 1946 original created propelled it to cult status, and it served as a model for several film movements, including nouvelle vague.
		The present version is something of an oddity, as it stars the son (Tom Neal, Jr.) of the ill-fated man who had the leading role in the original movie in the exact same role.

	The Detour - Movie Preview Online
		The Detour is the story of a young woman´s obsession with a charismatic older man. Semi-autobiographical, it is Dutch director Frouke Fokkema´s third film - and making it is anything but a detour as far as Sigma Pictures´ Matthijs van Heijningen is concerned.
		It was a defining moment in her life and one to which she has returned more than once, initially in her 1981 stage play, De omweg (The Detour); then, more recently last summer, when she directed a screen version.
		Like Fokkema´s first two films, The Detour is about obsession, but it promises to be the most intense of the three.

	Discussion: Draco's Detour - Draco to change?
		I think his detour may be trying to get in touch with the deatheaters or maybe even taking part in an effort to do a "jailbreak" at Azkaban.
		He could have been joking, but I also heard that this movie had some really funny scenes in it and I wouldn't be shocked if there were implications of nudity for comedy relief.
		When I watched PoA and JKR said something about clues in the movie that will foreshadow things that are to happen in the upcoming books, I noticed that after Draco is being pulled by an invisible Harry in the snow, he's running and you briefly see a skull on the right-hand side of the screen.

	FOREVER HORROR - Movie Reviews - Detour Into Madness, Vol. 1
		On the WMV file I had, the volume was a little low as I didn't have external speakers, but on the official DVD release, the volume was easily adjustable to a plentiful level.
		Fans of the company definitely know of its heavy focus on horror movies (with heavy influences from 80s slasher flicks), but the power players in TWE have made it known that they desire to move into other genres to keep their horizons wide and interesting.
		There have been numerous movies where a group of unsuspecting people conjure up evil spirits or something of the like, and they happen to regret it not too long afterwards.
