In the vast archive of cult cinema, Bill's Opportunity stands as a stylistic flair beacon, the narrative complexity found here is a rare find in the 1918 landscape. From hidden underground hits to established classics, these are our top picks.
Few films from 1918 manage to capture to explore the darker corners of the human condition with stylistic flair.
At the opening Bill appears as a poor, overworked department store book-keeper. He is promoted to the position of manager of the lingerie department, but because his wife is jealous, he explains his comparative affluence by saying he has become a worker in the oil field. Each day he leaves home in the garb of a worker, changing at the home of a friend to clothes that are fitting to his position in the store.
