Denzel Washington stars in this stylish adaptation of Walter Mosley’s hard-boiled novel, set in 1940s Los Angeles

Now in a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray Combo Pack

The bone-deep disillusionment of postwar film noir becomes a powerful vehicle to explore America’s racial injustices in Carl Franklin’s richly atmospheric Devil in a Blue Dress, an adaptation of the hard-boiled novel by Walter Mosley.

Featuring breakout work by Don Cheadle as Rawlins’s cheerfully trigger-happy sidekick, this stylish mystery both channels and subverts classic noir tropes as it exposes the bitter racial realities underlying the American dream.

4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray Combo Pack includes one 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR + one Blu-ray with the film and special features

I have a very good TV, and a very good Blu-ray player, but most of the time I can't tell the difference in picture quality between a DVD & a Blu-ray disc. With Criterion Collection releases like this one of Carl Franklin's superb film Devil in a Blue Dress, the difference is obvious. The Blu-ray is printed from a new 4K digital restoration and you can really tell. The features, as always in a Criterion Collection release are in a class by themselves: a conversation between director Carl Franklin and actor Don Cheadle, a conversation between Walter Mosley (on whose novel the screenplay was based) and novelist and screenwriter Attica Locke, commentary and much more. There is nothing else on the market that compares with a Criterion Collection release!

I had seen this solid Carl Franklin thriller a few years ago. I recently read the book, and have fallen in love with Walter Mosley. I'm a big fan of Noir, Crime Thrillers, and trying to expand my reading of BIPOC authors.

Anyway, I did really like this, the second time. Only thing, I felt the book did do a better job of capturing the spirit of racisim that existed in post-war LA, especially from the point of view of the main character, Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins. I will literally watch anything that has Denzel Washington in it, and here he is smooth, savvy self-assured as Mosley's GI Bill homeowner-turned-factory worker. What we don't know as that in this, the first Easy Rawlins mystery, Easy is learning to be what he will become in future books, a Private Detective. Or "Private Dick" as Jennifer Beals's Daphne Monet almost spits out when she first meets our hero.

The direction is assured, the screenplay sometimes a bit creaky, but largely true to Mosely's novel. Some reviewers have pointed out that the film takes a bit of a left turn in the Third Reel. I kept waiting for a crucial scene in a remote hideaway (won't spoil it, read the book) but that is morphed into a shootout in a Malibu house.

Cast here is top-notch. I would say, perhaps, Tom Sizemore as the sleazy gangster Albright may be best. He kind of inhabits the role. Beals is just OK as Daphne. I suppose the issue I had was with her hair and makeup - and costume. I kept thinking they dressed and made up Faye Dunaway way better in Chinatown. Not sure what to make of the minor characters, as they mostly seem a bit cardboard. Was expecting more from Don Cheadle as Mouse. Mouse is a crucial character in the book, albeit one who, although talked about a lot only appears in person in the second half. Cheadle seems to be thoroughly enjoying the role, but I don't think he ever nails it. Perhaps I was distracted by the Gold implants in his teeth.

Overall, taken separately from the book, "Devil" is a good film. Enjoyable, and breezy. A great slice of post-war LA. If you read the book, or plan to, perhaps watch the film first. Must my suggestion.

I’m glad I found this DVD. Thanks Criterion and Amazon! Denzel (as Easy Rawlings) and Don Cheadle (Mouse) remain as one of my favorite duos in film. I’ve also read the book along with the other Easy Rawlings books written by Walter Mosley. It’s too bad that this is the only Easy Rawlings book that was also a film.

What you want from any adaptation from a work of crime fiction by someone as distinctive a writer as Walter Mosley, on whose debut novel this movie is based, is one that at least tries to be true to the spirit and 'atmosphere' of the writer's world.
With this terrific film, writer-director Carl Franklin barely puts a foot wrong, helped no end by Tak Fujimoto's haunting cinematography and a clutch of performances which bring the characters to vivid life.
Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle are a great team as reluctant private investigator Ezekial 'Easy' Rawlins and his volatile friend Mouse, as they come up against various dubious denizens of 1948 LA, one of whom is a scarily violent man name of Albright compellingly played by Tom Sizemore. They're all trying to find a woman named Daphne Monet {Jennifer Beals} in what is an unmistakably Chandleresque setting and plot.
Good stuff.

Denzel Washington est resté intègre et fidèle au cinéma qu'il aimait, auquel il croyait, et l'a brillamment incarner. Il à même réaliser, et ce fût une totale réussite. Bon polar rétro des années 50, l’adaptation du roman de Walter Mosley est remarquablement reconstituée, les acteurs ont ce détachement et cette distanciation qui étaient le style d’après-guerre. Uu film avec l'odeur du cigare, du whisky, le rythme du jazz, l'ambiance chaude et suave du très bon polar est là ! Les acteurs y sont tous incroyables Don Cheadle joue avec panache, Jennifer Beals est parfaite dans son rôle qui semble être impliquée dans une affaire louche, Tom Sizemore comme à son habitude très proche de la folie délirante...l'intrigue est d'une richesse étonnante et de nombreux rebondissement viennent nous chatouiller la matière grise. Et soulignons l’excellente bande-son. Un bel hommage aux films de cette époque, une réussite qui devrait enchanter les nostalgiques du vieux polar américain, Le Diabe en robe bleue est le polar par excellence !

4.0 out of 5 stars Noir Verschnitt für Denzel Washington-Fans
Reviewed in Germany on March 18, 2016

Der Titel "Teufel in Blau" ist nicht ganz passend für diesen Thriller von Carl Franklin aus dem Jahr 1995. Das bezieht sich wohl darauf, dass die Femme Fatal dieses Streifens vorzugsweise blaue Kleidung trägt. Wir schreiben das Jahr 1948 und Oscarpreisträger Denzel Washington (jung und dynamisch) spielt Easy Rawlings, momentan auf Arbeitssuche. Das Geld ist knapp - da bietet ein undurchsichtiger Typ namens Albright einen lukrativen Job an. Easy soll eine geheimnisvolle Lady aufspüren - Daphne Monet (Jennifer Beals), die nach einer Affäre mit einem Politiker spurlos verschwunden ist. Dieser Politiker war Todd Carter (Terry Kinney), seinerseits ein Juwel der High Society von Los Angeles. Easy taucht ab in das Milieu der neonschrillen Bars und dunklen Clubs und trifft Coretta (Lisa Nicole Carson). Die Atmosphäre ist schwarz, schwärzer geht's nicht und besonders interessant sind die vielen Limousinen aus den 40er Jahren, die die Straßen bevölkern. Die Romanze mit Coretta nimmt ein jähes Ende. Sie wird ermordet. Jetzt wird es etwas unübersichtlich: Brutale Cops, schmierige Gangster und Geschäftemacher beherrschen die Szene. Easy holt seinen Freund Mouse (Don Cheadle) zu Hilfe. Daphne, die eigentlich Jazz-Clubs liebt, verschwindet ziemlich bald zusammen mit ihrem Bruder auf nimmer wiedersehen. Easy träumt davon, Privatdetektiv zu werden. Wenn man will, könnte das ein Raymond Chandler Film sein, ist es aber leider nicht! Das Bild (Technicolor) ist 16:9, der Ton Dolby Digital. Die Sprachen sind Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Italienisch und Spanisch. Als Extras gibt es einen Trailer, den Kamera-Test von Don Cheadle, einen Kommentar von Carl Franklin und Filmografien von Schauspielern und dem Regisseur.
