=== Cinematography === The [[cinematographer]] was [[Arthur Edeson]], a veteran who had previously shot ''[[The Maltese Falcon (1941 film)|The Maltese Falcon]]'' and ''[[Frankenstein (1931 film)|Frankenstein]]''. Particular attention was paid to photographing Bergman. She was shot mainly from her preferred left side, often with a softening gauze filter and with [[catch light]]s to make her eyes sparkle; the whole effect was designed to make her face seem "ineffably sad and tender and nostalgic".<ref name="Ebertcommentary" /> Bars of shadow across the characters and in the background variously imply imprisonment, the [[Cross of Lorraine]]βthe symbol of the [[Free French Forces]]βand emotional turmoil.<ref name="Ebertcommentary" /> Dark [[film noir]] and [[expressionist]] lighting was used in several scenes, particularly towards the end of the picture. Rosenzweig argues these shadow and lighting effects are classic elements of the Curtiz style, along with the fluid camera work and the use of the environment as a framing device.<ref>{{Harvnb|Rosenzweig|1982|pages=6β7}}</ref>
