There are four different Kodak Safety Film edge codes on this film (UK/Canadian). There are two different styles of intertitle; one indicating a probable completion date of the 1950s, the other stylistically may be 1930s (c. 1935). Spillane was known to have visited Canada for at least one conference relating to neurology and this film may have been shown as part of his presentation.
