This film should be named something else; the title could be misleading. As the movie critic in my local newspaper, The St. Louis Post Dispatch, put it; this is a muddled murder mystery story. After doing some online research on the case, I found it to either sidestep or omit many salient points from the investigation. A person who is interested in a fictional solution to the case would be much better off reading " Angel In Black " written by Max Allan Collins. He tends to stick more to the true facts of the case and gives a more plausible solution than this motion picture does. It seems that James Ellroy, the author of the book that this film was adapted from; always has an axle to grind with the LAPD of the 1940's as shown in LA Confidential; another of his novels adapted to film. I found little to recommend this movie. The popcorn and soda at the theater was the best part of the movie.
