...because one simply needs the space to house all that seating, n'est-ce pas? It'll surely come in handy when I throw my annual Xmas party next month.

a pinnacle in framing the image

summer storm

Summer Storm (1944)
directed by Douglas Sirk
cinematography by Archie Stout
and Eugen Schufftan

Most likely Schufftan is responsible for this shot, with its near-perfect framing.
Only the slightest quivering of the camera renders the special effect visible.
Look - you can even see the image through the slats between the wood planks.
