Devil in a Blue Dress

The bone-deep disillusionment of postwar film noir becomes a powerful

vehicle to explore America\u2019s racial injustices in Carl Franklin\u2019s

richly atmospheric Devil in a Blue Dress, an adaptation of the

hard-boiled novel by Walter Mosley. Denzel Washington has charisma to

burn as the jobless ex-GI Easy Rawlins, who sees a chance to make some

quick cash when he\u2019s recruited to find the missing lover (Jennifer

Beals) of a wealthy mayoral candidate in late-1940s Los Angeles\u2014only to

find himself embroiled in murder, political intrigue, and a scandal that

crosses the treacherous color lines of a segregated society. Featuring

breakout work by Don Cheadle as Rawlins\u2019s cheerfully trigger-happy

sidekick, this stylish mystery both channels and subverts classic noir

tropes as it exposes the bitter racial realities underlying the American

dream.
