40’s or 50’s black & white film about an alcoholic piano player?

Trying to track down a film, but have had no luck with the google. Basic synopsis from what I can remember:

Noirish maybe…. American.

Piano player in a nightclub or bar is discovered by a music industry bigwig and quickly rises to fame…

I don’t remember whether his downfall was booze or a woman or both, I just recall a scene after the fall where he’s found playing requests in a more honky tonk kind of bar for free drinks.

He gets rediscovered and sobers up and maybe has a comeback?

Does any of this sound familiar? It's definitely not "Shoot The Piano Player."
