Note that the IMDb lists the title of this movie as "The Blackbird", but the posters have the title as "The Black Bird". However, the original campaign book trade ad shows it as "The Blackbird", so we imagine the title was changed just prior to release, and it is difficult to say that one is more accurate than the other.
