This film is Fritz Lang’s seventh Hollywood feature, made in 1953 on a miniscule budget and shot in just twenty days by one of the best ‘noir’ cameramen Nicholas Musuraca and is considered one of his best murder mystery films.

“What The Blue Gardenia seems to signal finally is the demise of film noir - a genre which Lang helped establish (M [1931]) and refine (The Woman in the Window [1944], Scarlet Street [1945]) - and its possibilities of nocturnal passion and existential striving. Noir, in this sense, can be seen as one of the final attempts - alongside another form of artistic expression of the period, abstract expressionism - to forestall the processes of reification at work in popular culture. The low-key chiaroscuro lighting of noir is moodily evoked several times in The Blue Gardenia (and, in fact, the cinematographer Nicholas Musuraca also shot Jacques Tourneur's noir classic Out of the Past [1947] as well as Tourneur's Cat People [1942] and I Walked with A Zombie [1943]) but it is supplanted through the course of the film by the harsh glare of television with its preference for flat, overhead lighting. This evisceration of the shadow world of noir finds its musical counterpart in Lang's juxtaposition of Wagner's 'Liebestod' with Nat King Cole's 'Blue Gardenia'. (...) The musical resolution, we might say, is a different kind of death knell, another form of death than the one promised by Wagner and noir. What we have in The Blue Gardenia is a death-in-life in which we can no longer tell whether the life we live is our own or just an episode from a television series.
The Blue Gardenia parece señalar el ocaso final del cine negro -un género que el propio Lang contribuyó a establecer (M [1931]) y refinar (The Woman in the Window [1944], Scarlet Street [1945])- y sus posibilidades de pasión nocturna y lucha existencial. En este sentido, el cine negro puede ser visto como uno de los últimos intentos -junto con otra forma de expresión artística del período: el expresionismo abstracto- de conjurar los procesos de alienación en curso en la cultura popular. La sutil iluminación en claroscuro del film noir es melancólicamente evocada varias veces en The Blue Gardenia (y de hecho, Nicholas Musuraca había fotografiado el noir clásico de Jacques Tourneur Out of the Past [1947], así como Cat People [1942] y I Walked with A Zombie [1943]), pero dicha iluminación no tarda en ser suplantada por el crudo relucir de la televisión con su preferencia por una iluminación chata y cenital. Este desmantelamiento del mundo de sombras del cine negro tiene su contrapartida musical en la yuxtaposición que hace Lang de la "Muerte de Amor" de Wagner con "Gardenia Azul" de Nat King Cole. (...) La resolución musical es, podríamos decir, un tipo diferente de campanada de difuntos, otra forma de muerte que la que prometían Wagner y el cine negro. Lo que tenemos en The Blue Gardenia es una muerte en vida, en la que ya no podemos decir a ciencia cierta si la vida que vivimos es la nuestra propia, o sólo un episodio de una serie de televisión.
Sam Ishii-Gonzalès, Senses of Cinema”
“The Blue Gardenia is the first of Lang's films to be set explicitly in Los Angeles. His earlier crime stories tend to have a New York City setting, despite being filmed in Hollywood. This is perhaps an artifact of budgeting. The Blue Gardenia has a low, low budget, and perhaps it was just cheaper to admit that everyone was in LA, where after all most of Lang's films were shot. But it also opens visual possibilities to Lang not present in his earlier films. The LA police with their black leather jackets are consistent with all the other black leather uniformed characters in Lang's previous work. The scene where the heroine is confronted by one while burning an incriminating dress in her incinerator is a visually striking scene. The combination of fire and night seems especially Lang like, conjuring deep, archetypal images.
