Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Nevada Synopsis
Jim Lacey (Buster Crabbe),better known as "Nevada,", and his pal Cash Burridge (Syd Saylor), a pair of Nevada wanderers on the run from a sheriff who thinks they have committed some lawless deeds, decide Arizona offers them more security. Jim watches a crooked gambler cheat an old rancher out of his ranch. He then joins the game and wins the deed back from the gambler, as he is more skilled than the gambler at cheating. He goes to find the old man to return the deed and learns he has committed suicide. He and Cash then take up ranching. But the territory is over-run by a rustling gang, led by a local respected citizen. The pair, aided by neighboring rancher Ben Ide (William Duncan)and his daughter Hettie (Kathleen Burke), set out get rid of the rustlers.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"Nevada" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
