My regular readers know I hate going to the theater. Noisy kids, cell phones, exorbitant ticket prices. Not my scene.

However, there is a film I’m very interested in seeing, since it depicts an intriguing unsolved crime: the murder of the Black Dahlia.

For some background about the case, this site can offer you key details. Due to the limits of science and the constraints of social mores at the time, there is a lot of speculation about who killed Beth Short, aka The Black Dahlia, and why.

But the case continues to fascinate, and the theories abound about the suspects and motives.

I’ll be curious to see whether the movie captures the mystery and strangeness of the case.
