I was watching "Force of Evil" 1948 with John Garfield and Thomas Gomez, and the black-and-white cinematography is stark, stunning and reminiscent of Edward Hopper. And then I read that the director Abraham Polonsky gave cinematographer George Barnes a book of Hopper's Third Avenue paintings. And so the inspiration is there. Above is Hopper's "Nighthawks" which is well-known to all art and classic movie fans. Followed by "New York Office."
Although the paintings are in color and the movie in black and white, the tone and shadow and light are very similar. There is a shot where Garfield runs through an empty Wall Street just at dawn. The streets are empty, the skyscrapers form canyons of steel and concrete, and he runs alone, by himself into the city that is engulfing him, literally and story-wise.
I highly recommend this movie for anyone who enjoys fine art influences in classic movies.
