Movie Info
Detective Joe Warne (George Raft) is investigating the death of a successful composer. While Joe's colleagues believe that the man killed himself, Joe isn't so convinced. After some poking around, Joe discovers that the composer was involved with numerous women (Lynn Bari, Virginia Huston), and many seem to have good reasons to want their former lover dead. Though Joe's superiors command him to stop investigating, he becomes so engrossed in the case that he will stop at nothing to solve it.

-
A dated whodunit. Black and white film from 1946. At least I didn't figure it out til near the end of the movie.

Nice atmosphere but the film would have better with a more accomplished leading man the always stiff Raft.

A cop investigates a composer's suicide and finds more than he bargained for. This nifty example of film noir had a surprisingly contemporary feel to it. I could imagine it being remade almost verbatim for today's audience. The dialogue had a cynical, snappy feel to it. The performances were odd in a good way, in that everyone seemed to be hiding something. A film I'll look forward to seeing again.
