The Blue Gardenia backdrop

The Blue Gardenia 1953 Directed by Fritz Lang

There was nothing lily-white about her -- the clinch-and-kill girl they called: The Blue Gardenia

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.
