Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Love and Kisses Synopsis
The hero is being sought as a husband for a girl who has been seeking husbands for years. He nearly "falls" when he meets Alice, who has just come from the west and who at first is taken as the new servant. Alice is differently regarded when it is learned that her father has made millions in oil in Oklahoma and the matchmaking mother tries to force a marriage between Alice and her son. It nearly succeeds, but the hero frames a situation and stops the wedding ceremony, which has been subject to several delays, as when the justice drops his glasses and cannot read the contract, a situation which becomes worse when the groom's mother proffers her lorgnette which so distorts the print and dizzies the justice that he falls backward through the window and into the courtyard where the action comes to a fast finish.
Cupid's Day Off Synopsis
Heretofore running a shoe store has been considered a quiet, respectable business, but Ben and his partner make the interior of their emporium of fashionable footwear look like the finish to a feature number at a smart cabaret. They also put new life and the joy of winning into a gambling joint, until they are discovered cheating. This so shocks the proprietor and his regular customers that they lose their faith in human nature and send for the police. And so the merry game is kept up.
"Love and Kisses" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Cupid's Day Off" offers its own unique cult appeal.
