The gimmick is the rolling up of stockings, of course.
This must have given Saul some trouble as he used actual paper rolls
which prevented the use of a glass platen to press the artwork down
hence unnevenness and shadows.

Much the same technique, with a difference,
was used in The Seven Year Itch, 1955
