In contrast, during the period "Detour" was in post-production, PRC shot, posted, and released "Apology for Murder" (1945), also starring Savage. "Apology" was given a shorter production period and a quick sound job, and used library music for the soundtrack. Clearly, "Detour" was a higher priority to PRC, and the release was well promoted in theaters with a full array of color print support, including six-sheet posters, standees, hand drawn portraits of the actors, and a jukebox tie-in record with Bing Crosby singing "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me" (1926).
