Dick quoted Robert Mitchum:
"Well, this whole thing about so-called noir lighting," he
said, "that was because the budgets were so low we were down
to candlepower. . . ."
At University of Maryland, I had a film history professor,
Douglas Gomery, who came from an economics background. He
found the documentation (memos, budgets, etc) to back up that
the the lighting style was due to cost-cutting on the sets
Funny how limitations can become defining elements.
