I love this noir-ish moment- from 1937 yet. It could almost be a template for what was to come. Barbara Stanwyck acts the pants off everyone else and all Joel McCrae ever needs to do is stand in front of the camera, as far as I'm concerned.

Interns Can't Take Money (1937)
directed by Alfred Santell
cinematography by Theodor Sparkuhl - huh, I gotta see more...

Mr Sparkuhl! He's one of my favourites. I think I first noticed his name on an early German Dietrich film.
