- One of the essential film noirs
The Blue Dahlia is a quintessential film noir, one of the great films that defined the genre. Army men return from World War II to find their wives drunk and cheating with scumbag jazz club owners. Whether this film has not been released on DVD in the U.S. is quite curious, considering almost every film noir has been burned onto DVD in various collections of the genre. My guess is that Turner owns the film, and hopes to air it only on TCM, or the potentially racist comment in the film has people worried. There were racists in the 1940s, and denying it by not releasing a film is pretty silly.

- A Great Los Angeles Oriented Film Noir
Appropriately compared and contrasted to "Double Indemnity" (1944), Raymond Chandler's other great Los Angeles oriented film noir screenplay, "The Blue Dahlia" (1946) shows a part of Los Angeles a bit further down on the socio-economic peeking order. Lower middle class LA is a world of "neighborhood bars and bungalow courts". Post war Los Angeles is not sunny California but a shadowy labyrinth whose denizens are in love with the night. The title character is not a reference to Elizabeth Short, who would have seen the film from which she picked up her "Black Dahlia" nickname, but a low-grade nightclub on Sunset Blvd.

Recently discharged USN officers, Johnny Morrison (Alan Ladd), Buzz Wanchek (William Bendix) and George Copeland (Hugh Beaumont-I think Ward Cleaver was actually a Seabee) return to Los Angeles with some service connected problems. Buzz has a metal plate in his head and some mental damage; ... Read More
