Preservation
[edit]With no prints of Finger Prints located in any film archives,[4] it is a lost film.[5] It is referenced in the dialogue of Hitchcock's 1929 film Blackmail, in which a detective says he wants to see the picture, though he expects the details to be wrong. His girlfriend disagrees, saying, "I hear they got a real criminal to direct it. Just to be on the safe side."[6] However, the director, Lloyd Bacon, who had a long and distinguished career, did not have any known criminal record.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
