Gardenia - Eine Frau will vergessen (1953)
Just an ihrem Geburtstag erhält die Telefonistin Norah einen Brief von ihrem im Ausland als Soldat stationierten Verlobten, in dem er ihr mitteilt, dass er eine andere Frau heiraten will. Aus Frust lässt sie sich auf ein Abendessen mit dem Playboy Harry Prebble ein, der sie betrunken macht und mit in sein Apartment nimmt. Als Harry sich eindeutige Zudringlichkeiten erlaubt, wehrt sich Norah. Am nächsten Morgen wacht sie verkatert in ihrer Wohnung auf und kann sich an nichts erinnern. In der Zeitung muss sie lesen, dass Harry in der Nacht ermordet wurde...
