Dead End Kid Meets Detour Girl

The very same year in which she acheived Film Noir immortaldom as the most ferocious of 1940's femme fatales in Edgar G. Ulmer's Poverty Row masterpiece, "Detour," Ann Savage also co-starred with Dead End Kid/Bowery Boy Leo Gorcey in a decidely less portentous B-hive output entitled, "Midnight Manhunt." And what transpired between the "Detour" gal and the "Dead End" gent? -- well, nothing like the cinematic fireworks that erupted between Ms. Savage and her "Detour" leading man, Tom Neal, to be sure! (But to be fair, Leo was really just a comic foil; William Gargan actually functioned as Ann's leading man). Nonetheless, with the sultry Ms. Savage on tap, the road signs clearly pointed to -- if not a "Dead End" or a "Detour" -- at least some formidable "curves ahead" for Leo!
