I Loved You Wednesday Synopsis
Vicki Meredith, an American ballet student in Paris, falls in love with Randall Williams, another American studying architecture in Paris, and they set up light housekeeping together until she learns that Randall has forgotten to mention that he has a wife back in the USA. This miffs Vicki to the point that she heads for South America where she meets and falls in love with Philip Fletcher, a construction engineer from America, but he hustles off to build Boulder Dam. They meet again in New York City and discover that their separation has made their love even stronger. Then, Randall and his wife show up and sophistication rears its ugly head. Features a 'Dance of the Maidens' sequence.
The Bride's Silence Synopsis
Clutching a dagger, a woman enters a room through velvet portieres and murders Nathan Standish, the scion of a distinguished family. Nathan's sister Sylvia hides the knife, and when the butler Bobbins--whose hatred of Nathan was well-known--is arrested, Sylvia remains silent. To please her father, Sylvia marries the prosecuting attorney Paul Wagner. When she secretly tries to help free Bobbins, detective Bull Ziegler, who believes that Bobbins is innocent, suspects Sylvia. After Sylvia's hysterical speech during sleep leads Wagner to suspect her, she becomes insane. Wagner and her father take her to a mountain retreat where she recovers her sanity without regaining her memory. Just as Ziegler is about to have Sylvia arrested, a telegram arrives informing them that Sylvia's cousin committed suicide and left a note stating that she killed Nathan in revenge for being betrayed by him. Sylvia, who tried to protect the family name, recovers her memory when she learns of the suicide.
"I Loved You Wednesday" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Bride's Silence" offers its own unique cult appeal.
