Burr, meanwhile, is effectively menacing, voicing his lines with a thorough degree of veiled creepiness: &#8220;Women always surprise me when they take off their&#8230; shoes.&#8221; While I agree that this Lang flick is nowhere near his best, even one of his &#8220;mediocre&#8221; outings is worth a one-time look by his fans. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nicholas Musuraca&#8217;s atmospheric cinematogrophy<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Cinematography-1024x577.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Cinematography-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Cinematography-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Cinematography-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Cinematography-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Cinematography-1536x866.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Cinematography.png 1715w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Raymond Burr as Harry Prebble<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Burr.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Burr-1024x672.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Burr-1024x672.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Burr-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Burr-128x84.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Burr-768x504.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Burr.png 1479w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Ann Sothern and Jeff Donnell as Norah&#8217;s roommates<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Sothern.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Sothern-1024x705.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"441\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-45898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Sothern-1024x705.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Sothern-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Sothern-128x88.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Sothern-768x529.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blue-Gardenia-Sothern.png 1431w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, though it&#8217;s definitely worth a one-time look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0045564\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/69212\/the-blue-gardenia\/#articles-reviews?articleId=25823\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagoreader.com\/Bleader\/archives\/2012\/06\/19\/another-side-of-fritz-lang-the-blue-gardenia-1953\">Chicago Reader Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Sudden death sells papers, son.&#8221; Synopsis: A woman (Anne Baxter) despondent after being dumped by her long-distance soldier-boyfriend accepts the offer of a womanizing painter (Raymond Burr) to go on a date, not realizing he will ply her with drinks and try to rape her.
