Description

The Blue Dahlia (Paramount, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Alan Ladd stars as a hard-boiled, no-nonsense pilot who comes home to find his wife in the arms of another man. The two have a terrible fight, and later she's found dead. Ladd enlists the aid of sultry Veronica Lake to help him prove his innocence and clear his name. Raymond Chandler wrote the gritty screen play for this noir classic, and was nominated for an Oscar for his efforts. Prior to restoration, the poster had small chips in the crossfolds and title. The borders had been trimmed, leaving a small area of white around the poster. The poster has been mounted on linen and beautifully restored, leaving it with an excellent appearance. Fine+ on Linen.
