Noedebo Vicarage Synopsis
Christmas is just around the corner in 1860s Copenhagen, and when three cheerful, student brothers receive an invitation from the priest in the idyllic Nøddebo Parsonage, they strike. It will be a Christmas according to all the rules of art - added a little drama and a good deal of romance.
The Great Shadow Synopsis
Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
"Noedebo Vicarage" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Great Shadow" offers its own unique cult appeal.
