Wild Orchid II: Two Shades of Blue

I was a little kind of disappointed when I watched the normal version of this as it feels like it teases so much more. Luckily I was able to track down the unrated cut and it offers some extended dialogue scenes and more "steamy" content. That being said, its still not great. Nina Siemaszkos character is not very likable but this is probably a part of her situation in the film. Its got a pretty decent cast all in all but Robert Davi and Christopher Macdonalds characters could have used more time. I like the filmography, soundtrack, overall setting, and costumes for the actors which is where this movie scores points in my opinion. If it was named something else it would probably score better.

Why did anyone keep giving Zalman King money to make these? And how did Tom Skerritt keep getting sucked into these things? You'd think "Poison Ivy" would have been enough to teach my fellow Seattle-ite to stop riding the 90's Alyssa Milano erotic thriller burn-out-coaster (he's really the only thing even passing for okay in this). To Tom's credit, he grits through with as straight a face as humanly possible. A great actor reduced to, well, "this." The other actors plow through it in what I suspect is some kind of drug and alcohol-rehabiitation parole requirement. On the plus side, the garage sale I bought this at did come with a free box of tissues. I think that's positive.

I thought this movie was great. I loved how it all took place during the early 1950s. The atmosphere was down right sensuous, just like the Jazz being played throughout the whole movie. The way Blue is made to undress and is transformed into a different person was very dramatic and really shows the "two shades of blue". I really enjoyed how Blue and the lead guy fell in love and I liked how Sully tried to protect Blue. I didn't like the part where JJ Clark showed up at the brothel and Blue screamed, she looked really stupid. This is the only part of the movie I didn't like. I don't know why people think its a bad movie, I own it and watch it regularly.

Beautiful, innocent, teenage girl in the 1950s supports her beloved drug addict musician father but he then (inevitably) dies of an overdose. Destitute and devastated she is recruited into a high class brothel which luckily for her is professionally run and full of equally beautiful hookers who are friendly and accepting of her. After some initial hesitation she surrenders to and then embraces her new life and pseudo family, enjoying an existence of adventurous well paying sex and affectionate female comradery. But then she commits the ultimate crime for any lady of the night, she falls in love with a client... This is actually a far superior sequel to the original Wild Orchid and lays the template for the hugely successful Red Shoe Diaries, the sex scenes are entertaining, the acting and story are okay and it has some familiar faces who would go on to bigger things such as Tom Skerrit and Robert Davi. I would recommend it as a very decent late 80s erotic thriller

Blue (Nina Siemaszko) and her drug-addicted jazz trumpet-playing father Ham McDonald (Tom Skerritt) go on the road. She has to sleep with Jules to get drugs for him. He crashes the car and dies. Alone, she falls under the influence of Elle (Wendy Hughes) working in her brothel. High school hunk Joshua Winslow doesn't know her secret and has fallen for her. Once he's even dragged to the brothel by his father to lose his virginity. Elle's henchman Sully (Robert Davi) rescues Blue from perverted Senator Dixon and they escape trying to live a normal life. Zalman King's overwrought style is all over this movie. It's luscious and cheesy. It's 90s late night fare. Nina Siemaszko's stone-faced acting limits this and doesn't really help the movie. It's a beautifully shot softcore * and a slow moving melodrama.

The story is about a young girl named Blue (Siemaszko) who takes a job in a brothel after her Jazz playing father (Skerritt) dies as a result of drugs. She later decides to leave and finds it difficult because of the dictator like headmistress (Hughes). The story is really weak and prevents the film from being any good. Then there is a lot of nudity and sexuality but it is not strong enough to keep the voyeurs attention either. Top it all off with poor acting and no imagination and you have "Wild Orchid II: Two Shades of Blue." So the film fails all around. The story has absolutely no similarity or connection to the original "Wild Orchid" starring Mickey Rourke which isn't much better.
