the reckless moment 1949
directed by max ophuls
cinematography by burnett guffey
sound engineer russell malmgren
what really captured me about this film was the sound. the scene featuring the corpse in the photo above is without dialog and without music- just the sound of the wind, and the waves lapping the shore, and eventually the motorboat.
i'm finding more and more how effective subdued sound (or its absense completely) is in creating mood in films and in music.
