While the
film keeps to the novel’s Film Noir black and white,
there is some use of colour which coincides with the significant colours Miller
specifically implied, for example red. While it may not especially be important
in the novel, the colour red is singularly the most seen colour in the film as
you see it in Goldie’s lips, the bed sheets, blood, and police car sirens to
name a few. This invokes an emotional response and better communicates the
atmosphere of danger, passion and sin alongside the impurity and violence,
where the monochrome alone desensitises the audience from these.
