Devil in a Blue Dress (Netflix) is a 1995 neo-noir mystery thriller film based on Walter Mosley's 1990 novel of the same name and features Denzel Washington, Tom Sizemore, Jennifer Beals, and Don Cheadle. Set in 1948, the film follows World War II veteran Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins who, desperately in need of a job, is asked to assist a private investigator. I enjoyed the book it's based on, and I think they did a great job with this adaptation. Reviews are positive.

This sounds good!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteI didn't know the film before - but I think it's worth seeing, especially because of the wonderful vintage cars! And Denzel - still so young...
ReplyDeleteAll the best and have a good week, Traude

And the vintage clothes. I loved that!
DeleteYou had me at Denzel
ReplyDeleteHe is good, isn't he.
DeleteI remember this being quite good. Most anything with Denzel in is always good. :)
ReplyDeleteI liked the books so much I was a bit skittish about this, but now I wish they'd do the other books.
DeleteI've never seen this but I think I'd like it. A good cast and Mosley gives them good material to start with.
ReplyDeleteYes, the book had me buying the others in the series.
DeleteI remember the song, but not the book or movie. Great cast, though.
ReplyDeleteThe book and movie are much more recent.
