Summary:
DETOUR (United States, 1945, 67 minutes, b/w) Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. Starring Tom Neal, Ann Savage, Claudia Drake. Hailed by some as the best “B movie” ever made, Detour follows the bad luck of a musician who hitchhikes from New York to L.A., only to find himself trapped in a web of murder and intrigue. Critic David Thomson has called the film, “beyond remarkable…. a portrait of hell, and brilliantly done.”
BLUEBEARD (United States, 1944, 70 minutes, b/w) Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer Starring John Carradine, Jean Parker, Nils Asther. This enduring cult classic features a Parisian painter and puppeteer who murders his models after he paints them.
