Gardenia blu (1953)
Norah, appena lasciata per lettera dal fidanzato combattente in Corea, cerca di consolarsi il giorno del suo compleanno accettando l'invito a cena in un locale chiamato "Gardenia blu" da parte di Harry Prebble, pittore donnaiolo e assiduo frequentatore della centrale telefonica in cui essa lavora insieme a due amiche con cui condivide l'appartamento. Brilla, lo segue poi nella sua abitazione. Al risveglio, fugge dall'appartamento senza avere grandi ricordi della serata. Ma quando il giorno successivo legge la notizia della morte violenta di Harry, teme di essere la colpevole.
