This movie is wonderful. It is a drama (with a happy ending) and is a beautiful view of Italians in America. It is watching a real person struggling and trying to overcome all the hardships of life.
Warning! Spoilers!
It is a story of an Italian woman whose husband was murdered by the mafia, and her son who is living in a reform camp. she meets another Italian immigrant, and because of his kindness, begins to change her life. It really is a bittersweet movie, exploring the tragedies ... Read More

Don't pay attention to the other reviews. This is a good movie and is about finding love the second time around. If you like romance you should like this movie. If not, it is probably not for you.
Rating:  -
A pair of Oscar-winning actors, and a comedy about two widowed people finding second love. Not much can go wrong, right? Well, sadly Anthony Quinn and Sophia Loren are the main good things about "The Black Orchid," which desperately tries to cover up its shortness of plot.
Rose (Loren) is a young Italian-American mother, widowed when her husband was killed by mobsters. Since her love of luxury drove him to crime, Rose blames herself, and tries to amend by making artificial flowers to support ... Read More

This movie has it all. Cheap sets, artificial lighting, melodramatic music and over-acting. Anthony Quinn is the only character that is remotely plausible and also the only reason I give this debacle 2 stars. If you are expecting a glamorous Sophia to make up for the movies flaws...don't. She spends the entire movie in basically the same black dress and pulled up hair-don't.
Rating: -
Quinn's character is likeable and realistic,if a little heavy-handed and rough around the edges, and Sophia is still sexy, despite her lack of variety in clothes and make-up. It's in her eyes. The other performances are, for the most part, all very good, and the story line is enough to hold your interest. Is it ultimately kinda soapy and melodramatic in spots? Yeah, it is. But never enough to ruin it. Just a kinda sappy feel-good flick.
