Nicknamed “The Black Dahlia” because she always wore black, her mutilated body was found surgically dissected in a vacant Los Angeles lot. Long mesmerized by the true life story of the horrific, and yet unsolved, murder of 22-year old wannabe actress Elizabeth “Betty” Short, I first learned of the crime thanks to an excellent 1975 telemovie starring Lucie Arnaz entitled “Who Is the Black Dahlia?” Intriguingly lensed and related, that was my first foray into the mystery surrounding the 1947 discovery of the nude body of Betty Short. In addition to last week’s HOLLYWOODLAND, I have anxiously awaited this latest entry of what would hopefully become a film noir classic – THE BLACK DAHLIA.
