Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Breaking In Synopsis
The first of a series of two-reel short based on "Flying Fists" in the "Saturday Evening Post" stories written by Sam Hellman on the Flyweight Boxing Champion of the world, Benny Leonard. Leonard, at various times in his career, held other world-champion titles at various weights.
The Small Town Guy Synopsis
Coaxed by sharpers, who seek to profit by his rustic innocence, the boy from the small town goes to the city with them and become, innocently enough, a successful swindler, but he learns of the deception and returns home, too ashamed to seek his old sweetheart. The crooks return to try a blackmail game, but Ernie's eyes are opened now. He cleans up in whirlwind fashion.
"Breaking In" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Small Town Guy" offers its own unique cult appeal.
