****

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.
