Detained is a 1924 American silent comedy film starring Stan Laurel. In 2018, the Frisian Film Archive in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, was able to recover and restore a specific scene deemed lost. In "The Hanging Scene", Stan Laurel gets an extreme extended neck when he accidentally falls head first into the gallows, while trying to escape the prison. In 2017, a Dutch employee found the footage in their archive and after restoration the entire movie including the scene was uploaded to YouTube. The scene was to be shown at the Bristol Slapstick Festival in January 2018.
