Black Angel (1946)

In the neon-lit underbelly of Los Angeles, the city is rocked by the murder of sultry singer Mavis Marlowe. The prime suspect is Kirk Bennett, ensnared in a web of blackmail spun by the late Mavis. Despite the damning evidence, Kirk's steadfast wife, Catherine Bennett, staunchly believes in his innocence. As the sand slips through the hourglass towards Kirk's impending execution, Catherine finds an unlikely ally in Martin Blair, Mavis' lovable but deeply flawed alcoholic ex-husband, who is haunted by his past. Bound by their shared connection to the enigmatic Mavis and the desire for justice, Catherine and Martin embark on a quest to unravel the truth. They dive headfirst into the city's seedy nightlife, masquerading as a piano player and singer, their sights set on Marko, the shadowy nightclub owner who was last seen with Mavis on the night of her murder. They navigate through the undercurrents of deceit and danger, driven by the ticking clock of Kirk's impending date with the gallows. However, their attempts to pin the crime on the slippery Marko prove to be frustratingly futile. With time running out, Catherine departs to share her husband's final hours, leaving Martin alone. Overwhelmed by despair, Martin succumbs to his old demon, alcohol, as the real killer remains elusive. Will the truth be revealed before it's too late, or will the Black Angel spread its wings over another innocent life? A tale of suspense, love, and redemption, Black Angel is a gripping noir thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
