One of the most accessible of the Colleen Moore silent vehicles, Orchids and Ermine also happens to be among Moore's best and most representative films. The star is cast as Pink Watson, whose craving for such luxuries as orchids and ermine lead her to take a job as a telephone receptionist in a hotel catering to wealthy men. In the course of her many subsequent adventures, she meets a millionaire named Richard Tabor (Jack Mulhall), who to avoid predatory females has switched identities with his faithful valet Hanks (Sam Hardy). After making a half-hearted play for Hanks, Pink falls in love with Tabor, deciding that money doesn't mean anything after all -- and is she surprised when she learns Tabor's true identity.

Well, this is finally a movie! To watch Orchids and Ermine is to be enthusiastic. Here the main character is called Pink, her life is a bed of roses because it's clear that she will marry richly and well. So now she’s training in advance for that. Instead of a fur coat, she puts a cat around her shoulders, picks up a flower for herself on the dirt road, and kindly tells the little black-skinned girl that she will take her in as her maid when necessary. How can I not love this? Look here, sir, my future husband may cover me with dust, as you do here, you fool, but my husband will cover my honorable head with gold dust. I will oblige! And what followed? A fabulous telephone liaison position in which she crossed the entire set of competition with her natural cuteness. Pink met a smug colleague and they went on a date to Long Island. There, it turned out that he who cultivates money-making as a sport is a chauffeur. And, of course, he gets fired for this falsity. This! And back then, there was no such attractive charade even halfway through! It must be clear to you by now that you cannot let something so delightful pass you by. Salvos of laughter, great ideas, excellent catchphrases, and Colleen Moore's chin.
