copyright status
[edit]I've removed the statement that the film is currently in the Public Domain, as the US Copyright Office lists the film as having it's US rights restored (see document dated 22/Aug/1997). Davepattern 17:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
cameo appearance
[edit]Is it completely necessary to have a citation for the cameo appearance considering it can simply be confirmed by watching the film?--RedKnight (talk) 21:36, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
No it isn't so I removed it. Stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.156.180 (talk) 02:49, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
The Thin Man
[edit]Why is The Thin Man suddenly mentioned? I don't really see the connection. The whole section could benefit from rewriting. --Stm76 (talk) 10:19, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Cast
[edit]I don't know if it's of any interest, but Bernard (later Lord Miles) plays one of the polcemen in the final shoot-out. Source - the film itself. He played a much larger part in the 1956 version. Gramorak (talk 15:25, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Copyright status redux
[edit]I have deleted the link to the illicit hosting of this British film on Internet Archive. Co-writer Charles Bennett did not die until 1995, so UK copyright subsists until the end of 2065. As a non-US film still under copyright in its country of origin on 1 January 1996, it is protected in the US for 95 years after publication, so to the end of 2029.

Weak link
[edit]In the Production section, the word "phonetically" is linked to the article entitled "Phonetics," but that says nothing at all about pronouncing words phonetically, so I've removed the link. -- Pete Best Beatles (talk) 05:37, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Did Abbot shoot himself?
[edit]The text of the article claims it is clear from the direction of gunsmoke that Abbot commits suicide as he is cornered by the police.
I have watched this scene over and over again and all I can see are the three policemen shooting through the door when Abbot's watch chime gives away his location. I have always presumed that it was those billets that killed him.
Of course, we are not helped by the fact that in those days, movies always portrayed gunshots as " clean", ie no blood or tissue damage was ever shown.
