What is Devil In A Blue Dress about?
In late 1940s Los Angeles, Easy Rawlins is an unemployed black World War II veteran with few job prospects. At a bar, Easy meets DeWitt Albright, a mysterious white man looking for someone to investigate the disappearance of a missing white woman named Daphne Monet, who he suspects is hiding out in one of the city's black jazz clubs. Strapped for money and facing house payments, Easy takes the job, but soon finds himself in over his head.
Devil in a Blue Dress is a 1995 American neo-noir film starring Denzel Washington as a recently unemployed World War II veteran in postwar Los Angeles who accepts an assignment to locate a missing woman and soon becomes embroiled in criminal intrigue and political corruption.
