Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Just Suppose Synopsis
Prince Rupert of Koronia comes to the United States and, bored with pomp and circumstance, falls in love with Linda Lee Stafford. Called home when the crown prince dies unexpectedly, Rupert finds himself first in line for the throne, and a royal marriage is arranged for him. Before the wedding ceremony takes place, however, the widow of the late crown prince gives birth to twins, who become the heirs presumptive to the throne, a situation freeing Rupert to marry as he wishes. Linda Lee comes to Europe for a visit, and she and Rupert are married.
A Bird of Bagdad Synopsis
"Caliph" Quigg runs a cheap restaurant by day and a seeker of adventure by night. Ed Simmons and Bill Hillman are two hard-working employees of Ogden, a prosperous harness maker. Laura, the harness-maker's daughter, is the object of both their affections. Laura has ideas of her own regarding a prospective husband but dares not communicate them to her father, fearing the harness strap. She is only a kid and should not be dreaming of husbands. Her dad is insane on the subject of riddles and when the question of which she shall choose for a husband is broached he asks the following riddle: "What kind of a hen lays the longest?" Get O. Henry's answer in the snappiest of climaxes.
"Just Suppose" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Bird of Bagdad" offers its own unique cult appeal.
