	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.

	Bits of News - The Blue Gardenia: A topical message from Fritz Lang
		We the viewer know that the Blue Gardenia is incapable of murder, she is presented as an ingenue, a woman unskilled with men, kind and generous.
		The Blue Gardenia is guilty and they need her to be guilty but her guilt merely consists in being at the wrong place in the wrong time.
		The Blue Gardenia isn't one of Lang's greatest films, it is in many ways a failure- the ending designed to make a point frustrates (just look at the IMDB reviews to see that) but like all of Lang's films its designed to make a very sensible point.

	The Blue Gardenia (1953) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Besides the hypnotic melody, the interplay among the three room mates, Norah Larkin (Anne Baxter), Crystal Carpenter (Ann Sothern), and Sally Ellis (Jeff Donnell), represents the apex of this enjoyable Fritz Lang outing, not as dour as many of his films, wrapped in Sturm und Drang, tended to be.
		Of the interplay between the room mates, Ann Sothern as Crystal with her biting wit and mock delivery, is the highlight.
		"The Blue Gardenia" has all the marks of a great murder mystery in the tradition of "Laura," written by the same person, Vera Caspary.

		The newspapers are filled with the story of his murder and the mysterious blonde who left a blue gardenia behind.
		The Blue Gardenia came at a time when Fritz Lang had already directed some great film noirs like Scarlet Street, Women in the Window and The Secret Beyond the Door and he was yet to make The Big Heat.
		This is, however the case in The Blue Gardenia where we follow closely Norah's sufferings and her two housemates (also female).

		"The Blue Gardenia" (1953) is marketed as a noir, and the middle third of it has the look of one (shot by Nicholas Musuraca also photographed "Cat People" and "Out of the Past " for Jacques Tourneur, "Clash by Night" for Fritz Lang).
		Casey Mayo is the first newsman on the scene and uses his column to invite the "Blue Gardenia murderess" to give him an exclusive on her story in exchange for top legal representation.
		The Blue Gardenia (a Chinese restaurant with more chambers than a chambered nautilus that also features a cocktail pianist played by Nat King Cole singing the title song) is strikingly photographed, and Prebble's "bachelor pad" is amusing.

		"Blue Gardenia is a pleasing funk and boogaloo platter reminiscent of classic organ sides by Groove Holmes, Big John Patton, and Jimmy McGriff.
		"Blue Gardenia" features Dave on Hammond organ with the soulful "Texas Tenor" saxophonist Nat Simpkins, Eric Johnson and Bob DeVos on guitars, and drummer Cecil Brooks III.
		The title track "Blue Gardenia" gives Dave a chance to show his exquisite tone and phrasing and his knowledge of the draw bars, Leslie, and glissando techniques on theHammond B3.

	The Blue Gardenia Store - DVD
		With its title inspired by the notorious Black Dahlia murder case, The Blue Gardenia throws a twist into the story by making the mystery woman not the victim but the suspect in a lurid murder case.
		Anne Baxter, playing a virginal blonde with almost breathless innocence, impulsively accepts a blind date after receiving a 'Dear Jane' letter from her boyfriend in Korea.
		"The Blue Gardenia" opens with a plausible plotline: A nice, slightly naýve, working girl (Ann Baxter) goes on a date with a sleazebag (Raymond Burr).

	Fritz Lang's Blue Gardenia
		genre, Fritz Lang's "The Blue Gardenia" has Anne Baxter as a working girl who believes she has murdered a masher (Raymond Burr).
		One example is that May (Celia Lovsky), the blind flower seller who sold a blue gardenia to Harry Prebble (Burr) to give to Norah (Baxter) the night that he was murdered, is questioned by police.
		Her daughter surmises that the murderess's dress, already identified by her mother as taffeta, must be fl simply because "that is the fashion this season." The fact that details like this don't gel into the total scheme of the storyline don't seem to matter to the films overall enjoyment.

		Classic Hollywood noir with a feminine twist, The Blue Gardenia stars Anne Baxter (All About Eve) as Norah Larkin, a working girl who wakes up a murderess after passing out in the apartment of brutish playboy Harry Prebble (Raymond Burr).
		The first of Lang's "newspaper noir" trio (with While The City Sleeps and Beyond A Reasonable Doubt), The Blue Gardenia is a scalding critique of the American public's hunger for bloodshed and scandal.
		At the same time, it captures the panic of a nation sliding into cold war paranoia.

	The Blue Gardenia DVD
		"The Blue Gardenia" is among director Fritz Lang's lesser films.
		Adapted from the short story "Gardenia" by Very Caspary, it's more mystery/romance, like Caspary's "Laura", which made a far superior film.
		The cinematography by Nicholas Musuraca is in high-key style that was coming back into fashion in the 1950s, a major departure from the low-key lighting of the 1940s that became iconic of film noir.
