Reviews: "The Black Orchid is a beautiful movie. Anthony Quinn plays a cheerful middle aged Italian American who comes into Sofia Loren's life and makes her realize that there is goodness and happiness in life. The movie has interesting characters and great acting, especially by Anthony Quinn and Sofia Loren who give great performances. It has several touching scenes such as when Anthony Quinn has the conversation with Sofia Loren's son, and when Sofia Loren and Ina Balin (Anthony Quinn's daughter) make breakfast. The most heartwarming scene is when Anthony Quinn subtlety asks Sofia Loren to marry him and her smile is priceless. The movie also showed the importance of prayer. At the point in the movie where everything is spiraling out of control, they decide to go to church and pray. Right after this, everything seems to fall into place. Sofia Loren is radiant and Anthony Quinn makes you smile in this tender love story." written by "thomasherlihy" on IMDb.com Also Known As (AKA): (original title) The Black Orchid Argentina La orqu'idea negra Australia The Black Orchid Austria Die schwarze Orchidee Brazil A Orqu'idea Negra Canada (English title) The Black Orchid Denmark Den sorte orkid'e Finland Musta orkidea France L'orchid'ee noire Greece (transliterated title) O mavros krinos Hungary Fekete orchidea Italy Orchidea nera Japan (Japanese title) Lithuania Juodoji orchideja Netherlands De zwarte Orchidee Norway Den sorte orkid'e Poland Czarna orchidea Portugal Orqu'idea Negra Soviet Union (Russian title) Черная орхидея Spain Orqu'idea negra Sweden Den svarta orkid'en Turkey (Turkish title) Vahsi Cicek UK The Black Orchid USA The Black Orchid Venezuela Orqu'idea negra West Germany Die schwarze Orchidee ···················································································· Website:
