The Blue Gardenia The Blue Gardenia is a 1953 film noir crime film directed by Fritz Lang and based on a story by Vera Caspary. It stars Anne Baxter, Richard Conte and Ann Sothern. The first installment of Lang's "newspaper noir" movie trio — with "While the City Sleeps" and "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" (both 1956) — "The Blue Gardenia" offers a somewhat negative look at newspaper coverage of a sensational murder case. The theme song was written by Bob Russell and Lester Lee and arranged by Nelson Riddle. The director of cinematography was one of RKO Radio Pictures' regulars Nicholas Musuraca, then working at Warner Brothers.
