d.
Although much of the films drama derives from the attempts to enlarge a photo of a newspaper being held by a newsboy in the street in order to see its date and thus determine the date the photo was taken, in actuality this enlarging wasnt really necessary at all. Since the layout of a newspapers front page changes daily, and was visible in the photo without high magnification, even if blurry, it would have been clear enough to disclose which days issue it was when compared to archival copies, especially since it was surmised what day it was, and what days newspaper was actually seen, thus making the comparison very simple and straightforward. The high technology enlarging process was a key dramatic sequence in the film, but a concocted and unnecessary procedure, since the question of the newspapers (and photos) date could have been easily determined by direct and less dramatic low tech comparison.
