The Blue Dahlia

Film4 1.00pm - 3.00pm

Just home from World War Two,

Alan Ladd is accused of killing his unfaithful wife in this twisty classic, the last great 1940s crime thriller to star Ladd with Veronica Lake. William Bendix is first rate as Ladd’s shellshocked war buddy and Raymond Chandler’s screenplay is lean and mean. Dir: George Marshall 1945, PG, 120min
