| | Greatly overlooked and underrated | Bobo 11/20/2007 | | Given the campy 1950 sci-fi genre, this movie has reasonably decent production values. I found it to be a fairly engaging attempt to resolve a love triangle by cloning of the woman of interest in a somewhat Frankenstein-ian laboratory setting. IMHO, worth far more than the modest 1-star rating posted above. |

No Orchids for Miss Blandish 1948  N/R, 85 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: St. John Legh Clowes
Cast: Jack La Rue, Linden Travers, Walter Crisham, Leslie Bradley, Hugh McDermott, Zoe Gail, Charles Goldner, MacDonald Parke, Percy Marmont, Lily Molnar
James Hadley Chase's bestseller comes to the screen with this movie, which was panned nearly as much as his book due to the sadistic, violent nature of the story. For the 1940s, there is an extreme amount of violence as an heiress is captured for ransom and ends up in the grips of a degenerate family. Remade in 1971 as "The Grissom Gang."
