No Orchids for Miss Blandish is a 1949 British gangster film adapted and directed by St. John Legh Clowes from a novel by James Hadley Chase. It starred Linden Travers, Jack La Rue, Walter Crisham, MacDonald Parke, Lilli Molnar and Hugh McDermott, with an unbilled early appearance from Sid James as a barman.www.imdb.com/title/tt0040647/ The film, about a kidnapped heiress who falls in love with her abductor, caused enormous controversy on its release, because of the high levels of violence that had gotten past the film censors. Though made with a largely British cast, it was set in New York, with the actors often struggling with their American accents. (Ironically, the one Yank in the cast, LaRue, affected a slight Italian accent.) It was remade in the U.S. by Robert Aldrich in 1971 as The Grissom Gang.
