Movie Menu Episode #15: Black Dahlia

Josh Harnett and Aaron Eckhart are former boxers who are partnered in the L.A. police force and assigned to the murder of Elizabeth Short, A K A The Black Dahlia. This sexy adaptation of a James Ellroy book combines elements of a low budget pornography and a murder mystery. So imagine if someone took the story of L.A. Confidential and applied it to Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and you have The Black Dahlia. But somewhere along the line, the story was put in a blender and served to Josh Harnett at his local juice bar. So the man of mystery: John Harnett drinks the blended story smoothie, because he can’t read, and is perplexed on how he knows the script so well by heart. Somewhere in the process, Josh Harnett takes a # 2 and before he could flush it down the toilet, director Brian De Palma scoops it out of the toilet and the film is made. Cheese doodle!
