THE BLUE GARDENIA  (1953)  ¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Fritz Lang

    Raymond Burr, Jeff Donnell, George Reeves
Anne Baxter goes on a date with Raymond Burr, gets drunk and ends up at his place. The next day he's dead and she can't remember a thing. The evidence suggests she killed him, but newspaper columnist Richard Conte's not so sure. The ending's kind of convenient, but up to that point, this is pretty good. The woman in the nightclub selling the blue gardenias is Celia Lovsky, who was married to Peter Lorre. Nat King Cole sings the title tune.
