A cellulose acylate film showing 10 marks/M.sup.2 or less of adhesion
marks and having an in-plane retardation value (Re value) of 0 to 200 nm
and a retardation value along the thickness direction (Rth value) of 30
to 500 nm. The cellulose acylate film shows favorable optical uniformity
and can provide an improved liquid crystal display.
