May I Come In Synopsis
Businessman Jim Murdock is too busy with work to pay much attention to his wife. She is an avid golfer, and soon finds a kindred soul in a man named Johnny Spence. Eventually Jim and his wife separate, and she turns to modeling to earn a living. Jim, on his part, takes up golf on his doctor's advice. While on the links he makes the acquaintance of Tommy Milligan, an Irish caddie whose philosophy and outlook on life eventually gets Jim to thinking about why his marriage failed, and what he can do about it.
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.
"May I Come In" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
