Inspired by the Most Notorious Unsolved Murder in California History.
From the acclaimed director of Scarface and the author of L.A. Confidential comes the spellbinding thriller The Black Dahlia. Two ambitious cops, Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) and Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett), investigate the shocking murder of an aspiring young starlet. With a corpse so mutilated that photos are kept from the public, the case becomes an obsession for the men, and their lives begin to unravel. Blanchard's relationship with his girlfriend, Kay (Scarlett Johansson), deteriorates, while Bleichert finds himself drawn to the enigmatic Madeleine (Hilary Swank), a wealthy woman with a dark and twisted connection to the victim. |

Also Known As:
Black Dahlia (Germany)
Trivia: Brian De Palma offered the role of Madeleine Sprague to Eva Green, but she turned it down because she didn't want to be typecast as a "femme fatale" and the role went to Hilary Swank. (more)
Goofs: Anachronisms: Red background STOP signs used throughout; the film takes place in 1947 and red background stop signs were not standardized in the US until 1954 and for many years afterwards, drivers' training manuals indicated that STOP signs could have red or yellow backgrounds. (more)
Quotes:
Ofcr. Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert: I don't get modern art.
Madeleine Linscott: I doubt modern art gets you, either.
