The Blue Gardenia

Director Fritz Lang turned an actual crime into this 1953 film noir classic. Many fans have reservations about this movie, but it makes my list of the best film noir thrillers ever made. Ann Baxter stars as an accused killer with a bad memory. Raymond Burr portrays a worthless man who suddenly becomes a corpse. And Richard Conte plays the journalist who first condemns and then defends the accused woman. Be sure to make your purchase through PATRICK'S FILM NOIR STORE.
