description In many noirs, the white protagonists work in nightclubs, as singers, dancers or musicians - Veronica Lake's character in This Gun for Hire (Tuttle, 1942), June Vincent and Dan Duryea's characters in Black Angel (Neill, 1946), Ida Lupino's character in Road House (Negulesco, 1948) - in the segregated (if not exactly swing) tradition.
