The light and shadow modeling that black and white films pay special attention to is very prominent in this film. Especially the use of cigars. This film can be said to be the film with the most cigars in the history of the film (the characters in the film can be said that everyone smokes at all times), and the smoke of cigars naturally produces good results. Light and shadow effect. The other is the use of some close-up shots, which feels very good; the shooting angle of the lens is also very interesting.
Many of Lang's films are considered to be one of the sources of noir films afterwards. This film is similar, a bit black, but not claustrophobic. It feels good.
