Nocturne (1946)

RKO Radio Pictures
Directed by Edwin L. Marin
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Police detective George Raft has a hunch that the suicide of a music composer might be murder. He follows up leads on his days off, and becomes so absorbed with finding the killer that he loses his job. The suspects are the musician's pretty girlfriend who he recently dumped, her even prettier younger sister and several people who hang out at a nightclub. After another body turns up, Raft is sure he has found the killer, but there are more plot twists ahead. Entertaining if not entirely believable noirish mystery.
