    I toured City Hall in 2005. The Spring Street 3rd Floor lobby is lovely as are the adjoining corredors. However, that does not enable me to identify this film.

  25. Thursday: Alan Ladd from the back. Friday: The neon night club flower, which gave the movie its title, which, by proxy, gave a name to LA’s most famous unsolved murder case. Movie: The Blue Dahlia.

    Taking a wild slab based on nothing more than seeing the lead’s back only. Could this be Robert Montgomery in his experimental film, ‘Lady in the Lake’?

    I am going to guess “The Blue Dahlia ” (1946) and Thursday’s gentleman with his back to the screen could be Alan Ladd.
