Gregg Toland (Citizen Kane, The Grapes of Wrath) had the freedom to develop his soon-to- be-famous deep-focus photography, allowing simultaneously clear images of both the foreground and background, all shot in black-and-white expressionist tones. But while his depth of field covered the entire visual space, his lighting purposefully did not, using minimal light to create a candle-like effect, allowing small pockets of light in which actors could enter at precise moments of emotion. » (Jason Fraley, thefilmspectrum.com)
