Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Jewish Prudence Synopsis
Papa Gimplewart, father to three children who will never amount to anything, is unimpressed by the young lawyer who wants to marry his daughter.
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.
"Jewish Prudence" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
