Detour is a 1945 American film noir directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring Tom Neal and Ann Savage. The screenplay was adapted by Martin Goldsmith and Martin Mooney (uncredited) from Goldsmith's 1939 novel Detour, and the film was released by the Producers Releasing Corporation, one of the so-called Poverty Row film studios in mid–20th-century Hollywood. Detour tells the story of an unemployed piano player who hitchhikes to Los Angeles with a bookie, and the consequences when the bookie dies on the way. The film, which is now in the public domain, was restored by the Academy Film Archive in 2018.Film credit: Edgar G. Ulmer; restored by the Academy Film Archive
