'Detour' – The "B"-est film noir ever made on Criterion Channel
‘Detour’ – The “B”-est film noir ever made on Criterion Channel
I like to think of Edgar G. Ulmer’s waking nightmare Detour (1945), an existential, almost surreal thriller, as the “B”-est film noir ever made.

Ann Savage and Tom Neal in Detour (Edgar G. Ulmer, 1945)
Cast: Tom Neal, Ann Savage, Claudia Drake, Edmund MacDonald, Tim Ryan, Esther Howard, Pat Gleason. Screenplay: Martin Goldsmith, based on his novel. Cinematography: Edmund H. Kline. Art direction: Edward C. Jewell. Film editing: George McGuire. Music: Leo Erdody.
If you ever want to discourage someone from hitchhiking, show them Edgar G. Ulmer's Detour. It's a classic B-movie noir with some astonishing twists and one of the most fascinatingly snake-like performances by a woman -- Ann Savage -- ever put on film.

Your letters: Re-assignment of Wausau City Council committee members welcome change
A reader says having new committee representation on Wausau Council is a welcome change - in his letter to the editor:
Dear editor,

I worked as a pilot for 42 years and after several fatal airline crashes, the idea of the captain being an all-knowing God was shown to be a fallacy. Since the 1980s, crews have been trained to use all available resources when dealing with an issue.
Tom seems to think that because someone isn’t on…
