1940s black-and-white comedy noir theatrical poster. Deep noir shadows, lightning flashes, black-and-white silver gelatin look, serious detective staging applied to ridiculous subject. Elegant mansion interior. Mike examines a slightly crooked painting through magnifying glass, measuring its angle with string and ruler, wearing a rumpled suit, fedora and glasses, his face showing the reference likeness. Lisa stands nearby in a glamorous fitted satin evening gown, dark gloves and heels, arms crossed, utterly unimpressed, her face showing the reference likeness. A maid in the background is visibly straightening another crooked picture. Grand staircase, chandelier, antique furniture, storm outside tall windows. Title: THE CASE OF THE CROOKED PAINTING in classic noir typography.
