Fingerprints Don't Lie (1951) Crime-Mystery | Richard Travis, Tom Neal

Can fingerprints be faked? That's the question that crime specialist Richard Travis must ask himself when he finds Richard Emory's prints on the gun that was used to kill the town's mayor--but many, including the mayor's daughter, refuse to believe that Emory was responsible. More twists, and a second killing, lie ahead in this offbeat mystery.

Cast: Richard Travis, James Stover, Shelia Ryan, Sid Melton, Tom Neal, Margia Dean

Director: Samuel Newfield

The organ music seems better suited for a roller skating rink.

Very good resolution and i liked the unusual music also- poss novelty is probable. Agree the comic photographer i wouldn't miss. It, s free and easy to watch, so thank you for providing this interesting film!

My guess is that someone's aunt was an unemployed silent movie organist, and they got her a job on this film! Not a bad movie for such a low budget.

Thanks for posting a great reminder of how far script-writing has come.

At 5:37 the photographer looks at information board and mentions Sid Melton is wanted for murder. This is an inside joke. The photographer was played by comic Sid Melton.

The photo reporter with the never ending camera issues routine reminded me of why vaudeville died.

"You're a brilliant idiot" i have to remember that one😊

By having organ music in the background, I feel like I'm watching a vintage soap opera!

According to Wiki, Margia Dean is alive and is 101 years old.

Darling costumes on the ladies, a prescient plot and emotive organ music -- and a comic with a camera. Stellar!

When the guy falls through the window after being shot, you can still see him lying there just below the window frame. That's 55 minutes I'll never get back

Please tell me how gloves don't cover the palms of someone's hands...😅

Highlights of this film: 1. The all pervasive, tacky organ music! 2. The stream of comic photographer gags! 3. The 'accomplished' surrealistic artwork adorning the Bohemian artist studio!

The police can legally lie to you, but it is a crime to lie to the police! 🤪

Blooper...at 36:11, when they're going to pay Kelso a visit, the numbers on the building are reversed as in a mirror image. Enjoyed the film !

TO WATCH IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

"Okay, Okay, I'll confess to everything! Just make that organ music go away!"
