This photo is iconic because of the beautiful woman in the shot. In Film Noir, the directors wanted light on the beautiful woman at all times, no matter where they was or how dark the rest of the scene is, they always had to have light on them, because in the 1940/50's the studio was as big as the celebrities themselves, so they made sure that they looked beautiful at all times.
This is also an iconic picture of Film Noir as well, because of the mist and silhouette's being used. With the woman being in front of the man in the scene, it shows that she might be more dominant than the male, or that she is a seductive woman. You know this not only by her being in front of the man, but also because you can see that the man is looking at the woman even if he is a silhouette, that shows the woman is of significance.
