The woman turns out to be Jennifer Beals, and she always seems to be wearing blue. The mystery isn't much, but there's more to this movie than the mystery. It takes place in the 40's in central Los Angeles, and the atmosphere that Carl Franklin has created is heavy with racism, and a poignant foreshadowing of the violent times that lay ahead. Franklin keeps the movie moving so fast it's sometimes hard to follow, and all of Walter Mosley's eccentric characters have been re-created perfectly... Especially easy's friend, Mouse... played by Don Cheadle...who has a trigger finger like a modern urban crazy and an unshakable loyalty to his friend. ))
