From Lyle Talbot's rather bored look, you'd get the mistaken impression that "No More Orchids" is among Carole Lombard's least interesting pictures. Far from it. And while I can't quite call it a four-star classic, it's at least a 2 1/2-star movie, and in more charitable moods I might raise my ratin read more

Help a screenwriter 'Stand Tall!'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jun 15, 2016
