Name of B&W film

[Segilla]

A man convicted, presumably, but later, a photo is produced and in the background there's a newspaper hoarding showing a headline (hence a specific date)proving he could not have been at the scene of the crime

I mind on seeing a B/W film involving a court case and the key evidence was a picture of someone and in the background was a young lad selling a newspaper. The photo was blown up and you could see the date on the newspaper. I mind on thinking it was highly unlikely you'd see the date so clearly.
Unfortunately I can't mind on the tile so I'm not a lot of help

[weeal]

do you know any actor/actress who was in it?

[Segilla]

No idea who was in it, but it was an American film. Hazy recollection says that the headline on the paper or on the advert hoarding indicated a date the paper was sold.

Call Northside 777 see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_Northside_77 7 and look at the plot

awww thecorbyloon is so clever...well done

[TCL-MUMPING]

Thanks for that weeal! It was annoying me too because I had seen it years ago. I've no idea what it was about but I mind on the photo of some important character and a young lad flogging a paper in the background. Seems it was based on fact mind.

Thanks TCL MUMPING and All.
Strange how my two questions involved James Stewart, but quite unconsciously.

Well done TCL-Mumping- but can I ask why you keep using the expression 'I mind on' rather than 'I remember' in this thread ?

I do not speak TCL's language as a native, but I have no trouble whatever understanding it. However I am sure TCL will oblige you all by saying the same thing only LOUDER, much as Brits do for Spaniards and other foreign types.

[TCL-MUMPING]

I write "I mind on" because I say that rather than "I remember." Now and again I say "mynt" (past tense of mind or mynd) meaning thought or remembered) as in "I mynt it was Saturday"( when in fact it was Sunday.)

It may not be familiar to some but hundreds of thousands of folk use it every day.
