L'Ange noir (1946)
Marty Blair, musicien célèbre, idole de Los Angelès sombre dans l’alcool, et la déchéance en quelques mois. Mavis Marlow chanteuse de cabaret, dont Marty avait fait la réputation et la fortune l’avait épousée jusqu’au jour où la chanteuse ambitieuse, avide et cruelle l’avait abandonnée. Mavis est retrouvée morte dans son appartement par Kirk Bennett qui est immédiatement soupçonné par le capitaine Flood, traduit devant les tribunaux et condamné à mort. Sa femme Catherine Bennett convaincue de son innocence demande à Marty de l’aider. Après une longue enquête et intrigue autour de Marko tenancier d’un cabaret, d’un clip en forme de cœur serti de rubis offert à Mavis par Marty, et le tout mêlé d’amour platonique entre Marty et Catherine, Marty réussira in extremis à sauver Kirk, le mari de Catherine, en retrouvant après une soirée trop arrosée, une partie de sa mémoire.
