Worst News Judgment Ever | |
| The Blue Gardenia / int_43964f3 | comment |
Worst News Judgment Ever: Well, sure, Prebble's murder would be news. But Casey Mayo's "Letter To An Unknown Murderess" column headline probably doesn't deserve to take up the entire front page of the newspaper. "CASEY MAYO CAPTURES BLUE GARDENIA" also takes up the entire front page. | |

Sympathetic Murderer | |
| The Blue Gardenia / int_819b6384 | comment |
Sympathetic Murderer: It's really more like self-defense, so there's lots of sympathy to be had for Norah. The actual killer is almost as sympathetic—Prebble claimed he would marry her, and then went back on his word. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| The Blue Gardenia / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Prebble gets Norah drunk, then takes her back to his apartment and basically tries to rape her. He's hard to feel bad for. | |

"Eureka!" Moment: Mayo has one while sitting in the airport after Norah's arrest, when he hears the song that was playing when the police found the body, which was not the one Norah said she killed him to. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: That lady seen in an early scene demanding that Harry call her isn't just establishing he's a cad. She's the murderer. | |
