Genre: Drama / Mystery / Thriller
Director: Edgar G. Ulmer

Al Roberts (Tom Neal) performs as a pianist in a NYC nightclub. After his girlfriend leaves for L.A., Al decides to follow her and hitchhikes his way west. When the man who gave Al a lift dies, Al, fearing that he will be blamed, buries the body and takes the man's identity. Continuing his journey in the dead man's car, Al picks up another hitchhiker, Vera (Ann Savage), who figures out Al's deception, and, under the threat of blackmail, he gets in ever-deeper trouble when he must join in on her scheme. Cheaply made in six days, this classic film noir has rightly become a cult favorite. 1 User Review

| | Defeatist guy succombs to bad luck and road to destruction | darknessatnoon 01/10/2007 | | Semi cute... true film noir... but I hoped for better dialog... better acting... better characterization... and better plot... and better directing. Would love to see a remake with a more Whitman male lead and more Stanwick femme fatale and crisper direction (...there're a lot of flow-breaking pauses and non-sequiturs). Still... I wouldn't want to have missed seeing it. |
