The Silver Screen Oasis

New York Times film critic A.O. Scott gives DETOUR his "critics pick."

Oh wow...what a coincidence. One of my friends just sent me an e-mail of that. Glad "DETOUR" is recognized as one of the great classics of the 1940's. Poor Al. He just couldn't catch a break, could he.

HEY, who left their fate out their on the road. It just tripped me up!!!!

There is a Kickstarter project for a documentary on DETOUR called DETOUR '45.

I'm not shilling for the project (though it would be nice to see it get finished), but there are some interesting notes and a 3 minute video here that includes excerpts of an Ann Savage interview.

That looks like a first class project ChiO, and one that needs to happen. I would love to see a restoration of the film. They have SO much information to share, it made me salivate!

Great seeing that Detour project. I like it a lot especially Ann Savage who could have been a bigger star given half a chance.
