There are a million stories in the naked city and the best are told in high contrast black and white. Enter a world of hard-boiled losers, desperate women, and incredibly dramatic lighting. It's
called film noir and two classic examples are presented here. So put on your
trench coat, have a seat in the shadows, and let the flickering light from your
TV screen show you just how far a guy will go to find the truth - or hide from it.

has one last chance at happiness until he's framed for murder by his big-shot
rival. Runtime: 85 minutes
DETOUR: Starring Tom Neal and Ann Savage. Why couldn't she have been a different girl? That's what Tom Neal wants to
know when he stars as Al Roberts, a small time loser who picks up hitchhiker
Vera (Ann Savage) on the way to California. Vera turns out to be one of the most
evil-minded, cold-hearted, and conniving femme fatales in the history of film.
And she's got the goods on Al. How far will Al go to escape her clutches?
