Thats the most part - and to be honest, in my opinion, most of the best Film Noir was probably produced by Poverty Row - even Poverty Row's output post 1939 became much more relevant for modern audiences - like on average even a Poverty Row picture in the post war era had better production values (on whole) than an A picture from a major in 1933 - simply because the state of the art had moved so dramatically forward.
Incidentally one of my favorite Noir's is He Walked by Night featuring a very very young Jack Webb. I'll check out Detour though.
