Preservation
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.
