| Title: TEXAS DETOUR Year: 1978 Rating: *** |
In the 1970's there was what's called Vanspoitation films... young people cruising in groovy vans... but for TEXAS DETOUR, that aspect is a jumping-off point, beginning with would-be Memphis musician family Patrick Wayne, Mitch Vogel and Lindsay Bloom driving across the titular Lone Star State before their beloved vehicle's stolen in a one-horse town... with the usual rich guy who runs the town, and a sheriff forced to appease him...
While the lanky and aesthetically-formidable BURNT OFFERINGS chauffeur Anthony James is that important town-owner's spoiled, wild-card son, instantly smitten with the spunky Bloom after they're stranded without wheels...

While the family works at patriarchal Cameron Mitchell's ranch until they can afford to move on, TEXAS DETOUR finds its central romance between great-looking Patrick Wayne and blonde bombshell Priscilla Barnes, who's Mitchell's daughter/James's rich-girl-with-a-heart-of-gold sister...
And while Wayne and Barnes's opposites-attract tryst could have led into an intriguing melodrama aspect with semi-thriller elements (while Lindsay Bloom romances Michael Mullins and Mitch Vogel's paired with Kathy O'Dare), DETOUR remains just that... a middling dusty-blue-jeans hangout flick that goes in one ear, out the other.
