As Powell sings a religious hymn outside Mrs. Cooper is inside staying up. She is at first seen in profile as a silhouette but the close up of her shows her in softer, three point lighting while Powell continues to sing being lit by harsh light making only his face barely visible. It is this scene that is perhaps the best example of the contrast of good and evil. While Powell in the shadows sings his song insincerely, Mrs. Cooper, who is films only example of adult goodness sings the alto part of the hymn with the deepest candor.
