Product: Detour [VHS] (1945)
Rating: 4.0
Noir to its very bones
The Bottom Line:A "skid row" production, Detour is an incredibly minimalist picture that manages to do a lot with very little and emerges as a interestingly-hard edged psychological thriller of a noir; the Hays Code-enforced ending detracts a little from the spirit of the film, but Detour is a diversion worth taking.3.5/4
