In an alternate universe, we’d be living in a world where DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS was a monster hit and a string of great films adapted from Walter Mosley’s novels followed… but it was not to be. Despite being one of the most exciting and stylish film of 1995, DEVIL did not click with audiences and any sequel plans were abandoned. Fortunately, however, we can still celebrate this gripping neo-noir period-piece from Carl Franklin. Set in post-WWII L.A., DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS features Washington as Easy Rawlins, an out of work veteran who basically stumbles into becoming a private detective when he is hired to help track down a missing woman.
