Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Marriage License? Synopsis
Wanda Heriot, a Canadian girl, is married to Marcus, an English nobleman whose family, dominated by ancestral traditions, rejects her as an outsider. Through the scheming of Lady Heriot, the girl's friendship with an elderly man is misrepresented; and following a divorce, her child is declared illegitimate. After years of self-sacrifice, Wanda has met and fallen in love with Paul. Her ex-husband, Marcus, discovers that his son, Robin, has grown to manhood in France and wants to become a soldier. To give an honorable name to her son, she sacrifices her happiness with Paul and agrees to remarry her repentant ex-husband.
The Curse of Iku Synopsis
American sailor Allan Carroll, an American sailor, is shipwrecked of the coast of Japan in the 19th century. He makes it to shore and is rescued by kind Yori. The local ruler, Prince Iku, has ordered that all foreigners who are "trespassing" on Japanese soil should be killed. He hears about a foreign sailor who washed ashore and has been hidden by villagers, so he sends his sister Omi San to investigate. She finds Alan, and instead of turning him in to be executed, she falls in love with him. Prince Iku captures both Allan and Yori and intends to execute both of them. Complications ensue.
"Marriage License?" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Curse of Iku" offers its own unique cult appeal.
