 The Blue Gardenia | Fritz Lang 1953
Tied to a narrative that was rather unimaginative, The Blue Gardenia was the weakest of the four; yet Lang, together with a capable cast and photographer, was able to imbue it with his sense of the maudit.
An indication of the changing aspect of the noir cycle is that The Blue Gardenia as directed by Lang and as photographed by Nicholas Musuraca was largely composed of flat, neutral gray images most representative of 1950s television with its overhead lighting.
What The Blue Gardenia seems to signal finally is the demise of film noir — a genre which Lang helped establish (M [1931]) and refine (Women in the Window [1944], Scarlet Street [1945]) — and its possibilities of nocturnal passion and existential striving.
