I recently came across an essay online that was solely
concerned with the relative positions, i.e. standing or
sitting, of the characters in the movie of DOUBLE INDEMNITY.
It came complete with diagrams illustrating the patterns
created, something like so: xxXX or xXxX, etc. I guess if I'd
read the essay I'd know what the patterns signified. (And
then again, maybe I still wouldn't know.)
