Possibly the most controversial British film ever produced, this lurid crime drama caused an unprecedented storm of controversy upon release: local councils banned it, the Bishop of London denounced it, and MPs demanded an investigation into the BBFC for allowing it to be seen.
Based on the notorious novel by James Hadley Chase (which itself was condemned by George Orwell), No Orchids for Miss Blandish is a mixture of sex, violence and immorality, and tells the brutal story of a kidnapped heiress who falls for one of her crazed captors.
This fascinating example of British film noir, which the Monthly Film Bulletin described as "the most sickening exhibition of brutality, perversion, sex and sadism ever to be shown on a cinema screen" is now released on UK Blu-ray for the very first time."
