After reading everything I have been able to about the Black Dahlia, and listening to the FBI tapes available through the FOI Act, I can say that this movie--and this pathetic book, based entirely on the author's fantasies--is not about the Black Dahlia. In addition to that set of factual tidbits, it would be nice if Kodak could have its film back. Unwatchable.

But then again, James Ellroy is almost impossible to pare down to film.
