DETOUR

A piano player sets off hitchhiking his way to California to be with his girl. Along the way, a stranger in a shiny new convertible gives him a ride. A detour later and the pianoman finds himself an apparent murderer! At the next torn, a woman, an archtypical femme fetale, who knows of his "crime" begins to blackmail him, trying to involve him in a plot to impersonate a dead man! Murder, death and retribution follow. A fantastic script (including some of the coolest, hard-boiled voice over dialogue ever to hit the screen), and two great performances add up to one of the greatest film noir quickies.
