A polarizing plate protective film forming a polarizing plate by sandwiching a polarizer with two of the polarizing plate protective films, wherein at least one of the two polarizing plate protective films exhibits Ro defined by Expression (I) of 0 to 10 mm and Rt defined by Expression (II) of −20 to 20 mm, and also at least one of the polarizing plate protective films has a hard coat layer: Expression (I): Ro=(nx−ny)×d; Expression (II): Rt={(nx+ny)/2−nz}×d; wherein nx is a refractive index in a delayed phase axis direction in a plane of the polarizing plate protective film, ny is a refractive index in a direction at right angles to the delayed phase axis in the plane, nz is a refractive index in a film thickness direction, and d is a film thickness (nm).
