Black Angel
1946, Universal. 81 min. Dir. Roy William Neill
A man is sentenced to die for a M**der, but the man's wife won't give up trying to prove his innocence. The wife (June Vincent) of the M**der suspect enlists the help of a drunken composer (Dan Duryea) in the hopes of finding the real killer. Only the composer knows more than he’s letting on. A slick adaptation of a sordid Cornell Woolrich yarn.

Blues in the Night
1941, Warner Bros. [Park Circus]. 92 min. Dir. Anatole Litvak
The inaugural jazz noir. An ambitious band leader (Richard Whorf) falls head over heals for a femme fatale nightclub owner, and the complications that arise cause his band to violently and tragically implode. It’s all there in the lyrics of the titular song.
