LTATM meetings at the Del Mar Theatre are indefinitely suspended. Please join us online via Zoom video conferencing software (details below) where this week we'll be discussing a film streaming on Kanopy (anyone with a library card can join Kanopy for free and stream six to twelve movies a month). 

On Wednesday, January 22, at 7pm we will be discussing the Crime/Drama/Film Noir - Detour (1945). In New York, piano player Al Roberts laments when his singer girlfriend, Sue Harvey, leaves for Hollywood, Calif. When Al gets some money, he decides to hitchhike to California to join Sue. In Arizona, Al accepts a ride with Charles Haskel, but during a storm in a freak accident, Haskell is killed. Frightened, Al assumes Haskell's identity and car, but soon comes upon the mysterious Vera, who seems to know all about his true identity. 98% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes:
