Passion hooks up with folly in this terrifically tawdry noir that was creatively shot in six days—and has long enjoyed a cult reputation among film buffs for its existential tone. A down-on-his-luck nightclub performer hitchhikes from NY to LA. One wrong turn and he finds himself at the mercy of as vicious a vixen as ever ruined a good man. Roger Ebert described the film as “an embodiment of the guilty soul of film noir. No one who has seen it has easily forgotten it.” Introduction by Prof. Noah Isenberg. D: Edgar G. Ulmer, US, 1945, 67m
