The Blue Dahlia is the epitome of Film Noir. It has an excellent cast, excellent story and cinematography. I watch it anytime it appears on TV, cable, satellite or local.
Soon after a veteran returns from war, his cheating wife is found dead. He evades police in an attempt to find the real murderer.
