Before starting my review of this DVD let me say that I was surprised to read the vehement attacks on the film in the reviews that other users have written. It made me re-evaluate my opinion for a moment, and to be honest it may be that some of my enjoyment of the film was a sort of carry-over from my enjoyment of James Ellroy’s novel, but then I figured that if I got some entertainment out of it, maybe others will too.

Some of the greatest directors have fallen from grace over the years. The 70s was a fertile time for film and many young and impressive directors came through the ranks.

One director who started with ‘Carrie’ in the 70s but probably peaked in the 80s with ‘Scarface’ and ‘The Untouchables’ is Brian De Palma. How could a perfectly adequate director go from making these classics to making dross such as ‘The Black Dahlia’? ...
