This is my wife's favorite movie. I can definitely respect the cinematography, if nothing else.

Really?? I've never heard of it--is there a director/writer/actor that I would have heard of?

It's directed by Charles Laughton, and stars Robert Mitchum in a bad-guy role. Although it bombed at the time and ruined Laughton's career, the movie has been hugely influential on later directors. Every Coen Brothers movie references the film. You've probably seen the business with "LOVE" and "HATE" tattooed on a character's knuckles; that comes from here (sometimes via Spike Lee). Some of the shots, like the underwater stuff, took years for anyone to figure out how Laughton pulled them off.
