Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Man and Woman Synopsis
Bradley, an engineer, becomes a Tahiti beachcomber after the collapse of a bridge he built. Murdock, a former employer of Bradley, arrives on the island with his lovely daughter Diana, who wagers with a guest of the governor-general that she could dress the lowest outcast in good clothing and pass him off as a gentleman. She chooses Bradley, who finds out about the hoax and, determined to teach her a lesson, takes her to Leper Island where she is treated like an outcast. Murdock recognizes Bradley and offers him a chance to redeem himself by overseeing the repairs made on a lighthouse. Diana, having now understood Bradley, remains on Tahiti with him.
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.
"Man and Woman" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
