Walk of Fame Movie Adventures: The Blue Gardenia and Ann Sothern

Anne Baxter thinks she murdered a very creepy Raymond Burr, but isn’t sure because she got blackout drunk on Polynesian Pearl Divers. My favorite part is when she uses a handkerchief over the the mouthpiece of a phone to disguise her voice, and it totally works. It turns out Detective Drebin was right.

Ann Sothern (1600 Vine Street) plays one of Baxter’s roommates. The location of the fictional bar where Burr gets Baxter drunk is actually very close to Sothern’s star. This was filmed right around when she moved from film to television. I’m sure we all remember her best as the voice of the car in My Mother The Car.

Today’s fake poster is the second one I’ve done that’s based on a “classy” adult movie, but the other one is better.

Maybe I should have changed it to blue to match the title.

Fediverse reactions
