VERDICT:TRUEThe main theme has Morse code written into it - a form of communication that uses a series of long and short signals, represented by dots and dashes, to convey letters and numbers. In Morse code, the letter "M" is represented by two dashes (--), while the letter "I" is represented by two dots (..). - The jazzy theme was also written in the 5/4 time signature, which is unusual but popular in classical music.
