The Blue Gardenia
There was nothing lily-white about her -- the clinch-and-kill girl they called: The Blue Gardenia
Directed by Fritz Lang
Produced by Blue Gardenia Productions, Warner Bros. Pictures
A classic film noir mystery where a woman's fragmented memory and moral uncertainty become the engine of suspense and self-doubt.
Upon waking up to the news that the man she’d gone on a date with the previous night has been murdered, a young woman with only a faint memory of the night’s events begins to suspect that she murdered him while attempting to resist his advances.
