Why I Like Movies. In Three Minutes Four Seconds

Okay, so Ella Raines is undercover, acting all femme fatale sleazy. Elisha Cook Jr takes her to this jazz bar. The scene was shot by Siodmak, and he shot it in the expressionist style that he brought to America with him from his native Germany.
It is so crazy. All tilted angles and strange compositions. And very risque for the time as well. Easily one of my favourite ever scenes.
