Bolero Synopsis
Egotistical nightclub dance performer Raoul has the determination to succeed at all costs, and the only woman in his life who truly matters to him is a dancing partner named Helen.
Piccadilly Jim Synopsis
American newspaper reporter Jim Crocker's madcap escapades in London earn him notoriety and the nickname "Piccadilly Jim." When he overhears his American cousin-by-marriage, Ann Chester, giving her candid opinion of him, he decides to return to America to try to reform. He meets Ann on the boat, using another name. Unable to find work in New York, he goes to his step-aunt Mrs. Peter Pett's home to be near Ann, then helps her kidnap pampered cousin Ogden Pett, whose overindulgence has created disruption in the household. The plans fail, despite Ogden's consent to the kidnapping in return for half the ransom money, but Jim succeeds in winning Ann's affections.
"Bolero" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Piccadilly Jim" offers its own unique cult appeal.
