That scene in the car when he first picks her up - there is a moment when she just snaps her eyes open in a single frame and starts looking at him. Easily one of my favorite moments in noir.
Ulmer's filmography is extremely diverse and deep. Starting out in Germany at UFA and then coming to America making films which ranged from good-budgeted studio films to barely funded stuff like this one. I doubt his odyssey is matched by too many other directors.

Mine too!!
Vera is a piece of work that has to be seen to be believed. I urge anyone who hasn’t seen Detour to do so.
She really is!
It's such a great movie. So underrated, though it has enjoyed a cult classic status for a few decades now.
Every time i see a still from that film, i can hear her say, “Roberts!”
Haha!

A very impressing career indeed.
Love DETOUR and enjoyed your take on it.
Thank you! :D
