Can You Hear Me, Mother? Synopsis
Sandy Powell gives up his job as a Yorkshire mill-worker and travels to London to seek his fortune as a comedian. On the train he finds an abandoned baby, which he is obliged to look after.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"Can You Hear Me, Mother?" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
