Turner Classic Movies launched its Summer of Darkness noir marathon with TCM Party watch parties that screen Edgar G. Ulmer's Detour alongside noir staples such as Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity. Detour, Ulmer's 1945 low-budget classic starring Tom Neal and Ann Savage, is presented with an 'Intense Look' segment on Savage and features the notorious door-knock and reflection sequence in its climax. TCM pairs the indie Detour with studio masterpieces to showcase different noir styles and standout performances from the 1940s. The marathon highlights restored prints and preservation work, giving modern audiences a chance to see influential noir filmmaking and acting up close.
