"Welcome to the world of film noir. It's based in German Expressionism as is horror and gangster films (think The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari 1920,Little Caesar ect) and the technical term for the dark/light contrast is \"Chiaroscuro\". In my opinion,it's why these types of films don't work as well in color. You need that high contrast,that only black and white can provide. Enjoy ???? "
