Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
A Man's Past Synopsis
A brilliant surgeon who is unjustly condemned to 10 years imprisonment.
A Gentleman of Leisure Synopsis
A young New York society man makes a bet that he can rob a house and get away without being caught by the police. Shortly after making this wager, he overpowers a professional burglar in his own house, and instead of giving the man up, decides to use him in winning the bet. However, the house that he attempts to rob is the home of the Deputy Police Commissioner, with whose daughter he is in love. The succeeding complications, which arise out of this altogether original situation, are due to the Commissioner's willingness to accept graft and the professional burglar's inability to restrain himself when tempted to steal a valuable necklace. The final result is a happy conclusion to the very troubled love-story.
"A Man's Past" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Gentleman of Leisure" offers its own unique cult appeal.
