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.“
