Another good thriller from Fritz Lang. It's really exciting and dramatic, and the actors are good. I liked this movie.

Have you ever discovered that someone was planning a surprise party for you so you went along with it, acting surprised even though you really weren't? And then you discovered that, instead of the expected fifty guests, only three or four of your friends showed up? And then only one of them brought a gift? And then that gift turned out to be something you already have? If so then you already know what it's like to watch The Blue Gardenia.

I really can't say much about this linear plot without spoiling the ending for you. Just let me offer you this advice: If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and, in the end, it turns out to be a duck, try and act surprised.

Really disappointing noir. The only entertaining thing was Raymond Burr.
