Detour was a low budget quickie that was shot in only six days, but it's oddness, inconsistency and continuity goofs only add to the film..

There is a great friction between Al and Vera, something that in most films would collapse into a love-hate romance, but the film admirably never goes there.

Filmed by one of the Poverty Row studios, in 6 days and with about $100K, it ended up becoming one of the most popular film noirs ever made.
