Select two cult films to compare side by side.
McGuire of the Mounted Synopsis
Bob McGuire, Royal Northwest Mounted officer trailing a ring of opium smugglers, suspects gambling house proprietor Big Bill Lusk. Lusk's plan is to frame McGuire by drugging him and marrying him to Katie Peck, a dance hall girl who knows the plot. McGuire's superior officer is killed, and McGuire is accused of the murder; but Katie, who has fallen in love with McGuire, discloses that Lusk is the murderer and exposes the smugglers' plot.
Why America Will Win Synopsis
This is not a romance but the biography of the man who now leads our vast forces in France. It shows him from boyhood to his present high command, and the story of his life tells why Pershing was selected to lead the American forces overseas and how he has his own personal account to settle with the ruthless Hun.
"McGuire of the Mounted" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Why America Will Win" offers its own unique cult appeal.
