摘要
This article studies the work of John Alton in Puerta cerrada (Saslavsky, 1939). In the film's last musical performance, Alton photographs Libertad Lamarque in deep darkness, achieving a dazzling scene that foreshadows the lighting style he later developed in Holywood film noirs made. Starting with this scene, the article analyses the dialogue generated by Alton's peculiar photographic style, Saslavsky's use of melodrama and Lamarque's performance.
