Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Frankie and Johnnie Synopsis
From the long-famous ballad of Frankie and Johnnie, which, told with weighty vocalization the story of Frankie's meeting with Johnnie, the manner in which he "done her wrong," and how she made him pay the price, has been made this film.
Blackmail Synopsis
Confidence artist Flossie Golden attempts to fleece foolish but wealthy James Venable with a breach-of-promise suit. Venable's shrewd attorney, Richard Harding, outwits Flossie by proposing that she marry Venable and live on an allowance of $3,000 per year. Flossie is determined to get even with Harding for ruining her plans. In an attempt to con him, she poses as Innocence Page, but falls in love and marries him instead. Larry, Flossie's former accomplice, endeavors to blackmail her with her errant past, but Harding is already cognizant of the facts and Larry fails.
"Frankie and Johnnie" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
