A lot going on in this artwork: lit cigar to foot, thug ready to record her screams, gun-toting shadow outside. It’s refreshing to see that 1930s’ gangsters had a dress code (if not a moral one): the recordist is wearing a nice suit, tie, fedora and pocket handkerchief. You don’t have to dress evil to be evil.
