Singapore Sling: Midnight Orchid is a 1995 Australian television film about a private eye in Singapore. It is a followup to Singapore Sling and Singapore Sling: Road to Mandalay. John Waters stars as John Stamford who is investigating the poisoning of a table of guests at a wedding. Also featured are Josephine Byrnes and Anthony Valentine.
Doug Anderson's capsual review in the Sydney Morning Herald said "More your bite-sized tele-drama but one with a rather nasty aftertaste". Brian Courtis in the Sunday Age writes "Trying to work out the storylines for any of Paul Barron's Singapore Sling telemovies has been a little like trying to complete a crossword with half the clues missing" The Age's Simon Hughes criticised the characterisations and writes says "the plot (as you may imagine) is incidental. This is wine cooler parading as a cocktail."
One more TV movies featuring John Stamford followed, Singapore Sling: Old Flames.
