****
Poverty Row film noir about a bitter piano player (Tom Neal) who accepts a ride from exactly the wrong person while hitching across country to marry his singer girlfriend. Shows its budget, but renders it moot with plenty of atmosphere and a deliciously dark storyline that includes a brilliant twist in the middle. Short (only 67 minutes) and to the point. With Ann Savage, who gives a performance that lives up to her surname. Based on Detour: An Extraordinary Tale by Martin Goldsmith.
