Original – Detour is a 1945 American film noir directed by Edgar G. Ulmer starring Tom Neal and Ann Savage. The screenplay was adapted by Martin Goldsmith and Martin Mooney (uncredited) from Goldsmith's 1939 novel of the same title, and released by the Producers Releasing Corporation, one of the so-called Poverty Row film studios in mid-20th-century Hollywood.

Reason

Arguably the most famous Poverty Row film made and a National Film Registry inductee, its another movie I am nominating that has a real nice print to use.

• Comment Can we be sure that The Criterion Collection has no copyright on this? A restoration can in some cases be eligible for protection by the restorer... (The file data says this is copied from a Criterion Blu-Ray disk.) --Janke | Talk 10:52, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
  • Is there a way to figure that out? GamerPro64 12:56, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
    • You can ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Participants there would know. Bammesk (talk) 03:41, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
• @Bammesk: I got a response: I do not see a restoration as restarting the copyright clock because they are restoring the film to look like it did when first released. The US courts only awarded a new copyright for colorization because of the creative decisions about what colors to add. GamerPro64 12:25, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
