![]() ![]() Devil In A Blue Dress is unique in terms of perspective. The ending where Washington closes in on a house in the hills is very 'Big Sleep'. If you like your Sam Spade and your Marlowes this film will be fine for you. ![]() The story is gripping, if a tad predictable. The colours are beautiful too, from the orange skies in the day, to the hazy blues at night. The first shot that tracks through the busy streets and then cranes up through the window to Easy is so Hitchcock - or any director of film noir for that matter. Sizemore was good as the sleaze ball who hires Washington - yet he seems to good at playing these types in all his films. Elsewhere, Beals was good as the titular devil in the blue dress. He was hardly in the film, but when he was, his impact as Mouse was powerful. The acting is great - Washington giving another good performance. I don't want to ramble on too much, so here goes. I am glad I caught this film on TV it was great entertainment and executed well. ![]()
