Leave Her to Heaven
B. P. Schulberg of Paramount spotted his work and signed him up in 1932. At the time, Shamroy was broke, for he had squandered what little money he had on "poor starving girls and on whiskey." John M. Stahl, for whom Shamroy later shot "Leave Her to Heaven" (1945) saw his film, "The Last Moment", and, though highly impressed, thought Shamroy was "too artistic."
