Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Behold the Man Synopsis
A mother tells the Bible Story to her children, including the life of Christ from the Annunciation to the Ascension. As the mother tells the story, the film fades into a picturization and periodically fades back to show the children's interest and reactions.
The Fighting Marine Synopsis
As a reporter, Dick Farrington is sent to cover an assignment that promises a big story. A lawyer has advertised for an ex-Marine who is a boxer. He makes good beating up a gang of roughnecks picked for the purpose, and secures the mysterious job that is filled with danger. It is to guard the heiress Lady Chatfield, but the hero is told nothing as to the secret in back of it all. Dick poses as Lord Grantmore, wears a monocle, and otherwise acts like a titled Englishman. They proceed to the mining town of Goldbrook, where the heiress is to occupy a mysterious mansion on the occupancy of which hinges a great fortune. The engineer of the mines is deeply interested in thwarting the plans of Lady Chatfield, and with his gang of roughneck miners makes things lively for the pugilist star in a series of fights that are hair raisers.
"Behold the Man" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Fighting Marine" offers its own unique cult appeal.
