The Blue Gardenia (1953) is a deliciously moody film noir gem directed by Fritz Lang. Anne Baxter stars as Norah, a sweet telephone operator who, after a heartbreaking breakup, drowns her sorrows in Polynesian cocktails at the glamorous Blue Gardenia nightclub. One too many “Blue Gardenias” later, she wakes up with no memory, and a playboy artist lies dead. Suddenly, she’s the prime suspect in a tabloid-fueled murder hunt. Raymond Burr oozes sleaze as the victim, while Nat King Cole croons the haunting title song.

Fun facts:
The cocktail “Blue Gardenia” was invented for the film.
Anne Baxter bought her own wardrobe to look convincingly ordinary.
It’s one of the first movies to explore “blackout” amnesia as a plot device.
