Duke,Gun Crazy/Deadly-Female is #32 on the list-great film by director Joesph Lewis, who also directed Big Combo-a great noir director.
Detour's main claim to fame is that it is a very decent noir made for next to nothing in a very short period of time-which was director Ed G. Ulmer's specialty! I don't mean to quibble, but I haven't found many sources that find this even close to being the "first noir"...Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) is generally accepted as first (Silver and Ward: Film Noir-An Encyclopedic Reference to the American Style). Others cite The Maltese Falcon...regardless, Detour is a very good noir film, and it should take the place, along with Big Combo, of any of the films listed that were made in the 1930's.
Just my 2 cents worth
Thanks,
Gary
