Nocturne (1946) dir: Edwin L. Marin starring George Raft and Lynn Bari.
No, it is not a great film, nor does it link to any of our current dicussions on this board. But is said to be a hard movie to track down and is available for free on YouTube at present.
And for Noir enthusiasts it is well worth seeing as it contains a number of talking points. I was going to do a little write-up here but that would be pointless as Eddie Muller has provided a detailed and interesting intro and outro (new word to me), also available on YouTube.
As Muller and others point out, one of the bright spots is the small part played by Joseph Pevney (like a better-looking Oscar Levant), one of only five features in which he acted, because he soon moved into directing and enjoyed a long and prolific career. I fear acting's loss was greater than directing's gain.
Could one of our experts please answer this question for me? What is the name of the actress who bursts in and saves Raft from a beating by complaining that the brawl has woken her baby? I have seen her in many films, sometimes in larger parts, but cannot find her in the cast-list.
