SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
The Black Dahlia weaves a fictionalized tale of obsession,
love, corruption, greed and depravity around the true story
of the brutal murder of a fledgling Hollywood starlet that
shocked and fascinated the nation in 1947 and remains unsolved
today. Two ex-pugilist cops, Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart)
and Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett), are called to investigate
the homicide of ambitious silver-screen B-lister Betty Ann
Short (Mia Kirshner) A.K.A. "The Black Dahlia"--an
attack so grisly that images of the killing were kept from
the public.
While Blanchard's growing preoccupation with the sensational
murder threatens his marriage to Kay (Scarlett Johansson),
his partner Bleichert finds himself attracted to the enigmatic
Madeleine Linscott (two-time Oscar® winner Hilary Swank),
the daughter of one of the city's most prominent families--who
just happens to have an unsavory connection to the murder
victim.
