Emerging from the "Poverty Row" studios of 20th Century Hollywood comes Edgar G. Ulmer's 1945 classic DETOUR, a work of film noir that stands out due to its unconventional structure and the wonderful performances of its two main stars, Ann Savage and Tom Neal. Although at first the film might seem to solely represent the usual trappings of American noir, once you get beneath the cool exterior of DETOUR you'll find a suffocating atmosphere of guilt and dread. Although Tom Neal plays the perfect everyman caught in circumstances beyond his control, the real star of the show here is Ann Savage's performance of a down-and-out, fast-talking woman taking matters into her own hands. Or trying to, anyway. Follow us at @trylovepodcast on Twitter and email us at trylovepodcast@gmail.com to get in touch! Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Waters.
