Devil in a Blue Dress

“This is Devil in a Blue Dress by a hometown hero, Carl Franklin. So, this movie’s a masterpiece. Massive influence on my latest picture, Sinners. But it’s a Great Migration movie. It’s about Los Angeles, but the characters are all from Houston. And it’s just beautiful, man. It’s a Walter Mosley adaptation. You know, my admiration for this film has only deepened. But it’s just an incredible piece of cinema, and an incredible film noir.”

“Devil in a Blue Dress. It’s a hot film.”

“Devil in a Blue Dress this film speaks to me because my first real job was this show called Hollywood that I shot with Ryan Murphy for Netflix and this film set in the I think it's like late 40s 50s felt very identical to the experience that my character Archie was about to go on so this became like such an inspiration and like a point of reference love the film love the way that it's shot the cinematography is incredible Denzel is incredible Carl Franklin's incredible.”

“Devil in a Blue Dress. Man, this film, it was so smart, it was so well shot. Carl Franklin killed this.”

“I'd like to get a Denzel because he's one of, if not my favorite actor. So this is Devil in a Blue Dress, based on the Walter Mosley character Easy Rawlins. Very good book, great film.”

“This is a great film this is Carl Franklin's film and this is I worked with Carl I did three times with him and this was his first sort of movie where he got to do what he wanted to do Devil in a Blue Dress this is Don Cheadle's first real kind of coming out as an actor...”

“Devil in a Blue Dress, Carl Franklin. It’s not often that you see people go face to face with Denzel Washington and come out unscathed. Don Cheadle’s Performance. Legendary one. Underappreciated. I think the film, just overall, underappreciated.”
