Phantom Lady (US, 1944)

One of many notable noirs directed by Robert Siodmak, and one of a few noirs to feature the daintily beautiful Ella Raines. It's particularly memorable for the jazzclub scene - just watch a tarted-up Ella's moves and listen to that drum solo (which wouldn't be out of place on a Squarepusher record).

Other than these it's a disposable plot, and high quality noir photography.
