("Councilman ...")

What makes a really fine director is sometimes the subtle touches they put into things. For instance, in this scene, call girl Lynn (who's being curtly grilled by a policeman) walks over to the windows, obviously ready to pull the curtains back. We instinctively expect her to use a cord, snapping them open, as she surely must open and close these curtains a number of times a day in her line of work. But she parts the curtains softly, draping them to one side and then the other, and we notice her dress is softly draped, too. She is soft and elegantly seductive. The light from the window now illuminates half of Bud's face...he can see her better, but she is still a mystery to him. He is attracted to her, but wary. Then we see the window again, and note the curtains are not fully opened, as we might expect ... They're more parted from the top, still obscuring some light. Lynn and Bud are themselves half opened, half closed. She walks across the room and now we hear the sound we expected earlier...she snaps the pull-down movie screen up ... It's a contrast to how the scene was moving. So now, maybe Lynn is brisque and businesslike...then she pours Bud a drink in profile, and we're reminded again she's soft and flowing and classically beautiful. She is bending over to pour ... for convenience, or is she manipulating him? There is a bedroom set behind her (for her work) that spills over into the living room. Where are we? There's lots of things that obscure; loads of full length curtains everywhere, some open and some closed, and mottled glass in another widow divided into panes. The characters have a talk about disguises....

These aren't by happenstance. They're details you don't really fully notice or dwell on when watching the movie, but they definitely effect you subconsciously, and perfectly support the nature of the scene. They have changing rhythms and messages, just like the characters are giving to each other.

It's wonderfully directed.
