Sat-mat

 A bit different perhaps:

Wiki puts it this way:

The Madonna's Secret follows the life of a tortured artist as he faces accusations of multiple murders. His beautiful models seem to meet with unfortunate endings and the cops all think they point to the painter. Perhaps they do, as he hears voices, has bad dreams and forgets chunks of his life.

Straight to reader reviews:

Not sure if this is strictly a noir film as it runs as a mystery as well. Some evidence of film noir would be the dramatic cinematography, a character that is somewhat of a Femme Fatale, a feeling of hopelessness in the current status quo, and of course, the criminal element that pervades most scenes. Against it being noir would be that this film is not about the average man, but a well to do artist. Also, the [helpless] fate angle doesn't seem as pronounced here. The acting is great throughout with special kudos for Francis Lederer and his creepy accent. The cinematography is uniformly superb. Of course, any film shot by John Alton is special. This is a rare film and currently only shown at film festivals. Hopefully it will show up on DVD someday.
