Nocturne is a 1946 black-and-white film noir starring George Raft and Lynn Bari. The film was produced by longtime Alfred Hitchcock associate Joan Harrison. It was scripted by Jonathan Latimer and directed by Edwin Marin.
A Hollywood film composer is found dead. The police think it is suicide but a cop, Joe Warner (Raft), suspects murder. Warner begins looking for 'Dolores', a name in a song by the dead man. While investigating, Warner finds out the dead man has had a list of models as girlfriends and that ten of them have a motive for the suspected murder. His ruthless questioning tactics lead to several suspects reporting him for abuse. Pursuing the case with dogged determination, the obsessed Warner is eventually suspended from the police force while on the case. As he digs deeper into the case, the clues draw him closer to Frances Ransom (Bari), who may be involved in the killing.
