Details or Sample:
Based on a real-life unsolved 1947 murder, The Black Dahlia is worth watching if only for its gorgeous period sets. It´s not as good as the book, but few films are.

The Black Dahlia, released in 2006, is an adaptation of James Ellroy´s novel that creates a multi-faceted mystery around the real-life unsolved murder of aspiring actress Elizabeth Short in 1947. The murder of Ms. Short, dubbed the "Black Dahlia" by the press because of her preference of wearing black clothes and a large white dahlia flower behind her ear, was the media sensation of the 1940s. Her mutilated body was discovered one morning behind a Los Angeles warehouse and spurred a flurry of speculation and "Dahlia" look-alikes.

The Real "Black Dahlia"
The movie, The Black Dahlia, focuses on the two LAPD detectives charged with solving the murder. These two policemen, Bucky Bleichert (played by Josh Hartnett) and Lee Blanchard (played by Aaron Eckhart), become increasingly obsessed by the murder. Bucky finds that his wealthy girlfriend, Madeline Linscott (played by Hilary Swank), has ties to the dead woman, and Blanchard tries to make a side deal, at his peril. Blanchard´s girlfriend, Kay Lake (played by Scarlett Johansson) also has secrets to keep that are relevant to the case.
