You know you are watching a film noir classic when you hear a line like: "There oughta be a law against dames with claws. Give a tomato a ride and you expect her to be nice."
There are a zillion great, old films for free on youtube. I wanted to bring them together on one blog for lovers of older films or people who want to learn about film history and see some of the best films ever. When I was younger there was a theater called the Parkway (in Chicago) that showed such films. It was torn down (so it goes). So this blog is kind of my own personal Parkway. djg51qu@gmail.com I will post new films each Saturday.

Detour - 1945 - Edgar G. Ulmer
Film noir classic. A piano player, due to dire poverty, is forced to hitchhike from New York to LA and accepts a ride from a guy who turns out to be a shady character. The guy is no direct threat to the piano player and even tries to help him, but this leads to even more of a downward spiral in the piano player's life.
