Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Curtain at Eight Synopsis
An elderly detective sets out to find who murdered a stage actor.
Gloriana Synopsis
Dr. Manning cherishes Gloriana, his newly-adopted young daughter, but Mrs. Manning, who directs overseas charity projects, has as little concern for Gloriana as she does for the poverty-stricken people in her own city. After listening to her new mother philosophize about the importance of charity, Gloriana takes some money from Mrs. Manning's desk and gives it to Miriam, her impoverished governess. Mrs. Manning at first accuses Miriam of theft, but when Gloriana confesses, Mrs. Manning suddenly realizes that she has been blind to the poverty that surrounds her, and she vows to start devoting her energy into helping those who are closer to home.
"Curtain at Eight" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Gloriana" offers its own unique cult appeal.
