In the film, George Tilden (William Finley) and Ramona Linscott (mother of Madeleine played by Hillary Shwank)(Fiona Shaw from HARRY POTTER) are involved in the Black Dahlia's (Mia Kirshner) horrific gruesome murder. In this one scene, Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) is attacked by George near the railing on the highest floor of a building, and a shaddowy figure with a switchblade approaches them (probably Madeleine) and slits Aaron's throat while George holds the convulsing detective with the garrote. The struggle causes George and Lee to fall to their death. Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett) watches helplessly. It was an intense scene.
How would you describe actor William Finley's character George Tilden in Brian Depalma's BLACK DAHLIA?
I would describe him as either vicious or ruthless (or both). He was even worse in the book.
Reply:As I remember it the recently released Georgewas there to kill Aaron for a frame up Aaron sent him to prison for because George used to beat his wife who Aaron was having sex with and Bucky was also infatuated with. The truth came out when the money was found in Aaron's possession. The fact was that George was a criminal and a wife beater but Aaron was not innocent in this matter either, and probably neither was his wife. BTW, Aaron was no sweet heart himself as Bucky's missing teeth could attest to. So, I see George as a mixture of cruelty and outrage provoked....
