Anyone know what this movie is?!
Question: A couple nights ago I saw this movie on TV. It's an older movie, in black and white, and the title is "The Blue _____". Of course, I can't think of what fills in the blank, and all I remember is that it is a type of flower. Here is what I remember of the plot. A woman goes to a restaurant, that has the same name as the movie "The Blue _____", and goes home with a man. The guy tries to put moves on her, but she resists. This being the case, he decides to slip something in her drink that makes her pass out. When the woman wakes up, she leaves the house, but leaves her flower, which fell off her dress, and her shoes behind. The man ends up dead, and everyone believes "The Blue _____ Woman" is the murderer. Anyway, it turns out he was killed by a jealous lover, when she walked in and saw the other woman's handkerchief. That's about all I can remember about it. Don't know any of the actors, and I think it was set in the 30s. Anyone know the name of the movie?
Thx for any help!
