The Center for Art, Culture, and History, Exeter, or CACHE, will be hosting a classic film noir cinema series every first Monday at 6 p.m. April’s movie selection is Detour (1945), starring Tom Neal and Anna Savage.
Detour presents the story of Al Roberts (Tom Neal), a pianist in a sleepy New York nightclub. When his girlfriend takes off for California to seek singing gigs, Roberts decides to hitch-hike after her. On the way, he gets a ride from a man who, apparently from a heart attack, dies. Roberts, afraid that he'll be suspected of killing the man, buries the body in the desert and takes the man's car and wallet, assuming his identity. Seeing a female hitchhiker (Ann Savage), Roberts picks her up, unaware that she will lead to his utter ruin.
Vintage dress is encouraged but not required to attend. The screenings will be shown in our upstairs facility, and film discussions will follow, hosted by Aida and Lee Bartoletti of Exeter, CA. Bring your own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Please arrive before 6 p.m. to peruse CACHE, socialize, and select your seating. Doors will lock at 6 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public (donations are accepted), and it is recommended for ages 13 and older. For more information, visit our website at www.cach-exeter.org/events/.
