Plot
Superbly stylish and atmospheric thriller set in the steamy New Orleans of 1955. Down and out private eye Harry Angel is hired by the sinister Louis Cyphre to find a missing crooner who's been dabbling in the occult. But Harry's leads keep winding up ritually murdered. Chilling, erotic, brilliant.
