Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Pals Synopsis
Bruce Taylor arrives in the mountain town of Caliente with his dog (Rex), horse (Blackie), and an abandoned baby found by Rex in an automobile in the desert. The town has no foundling home, and Bruce is forced to care for the infant himself. Molly Markham offers to help and arouses the jealousy of her "suitor," Obediah Dillwater, who has Molly's grandfather under financial obligation. Obediah conspires to have Bruce arrested for kidnapping the baby, but Bruce escapes from jail with the aid of Rex and Blackie. He brings back the sheriff to prove his innocence and rescues Molly from a forced marriage to Obediah. Molly, Bruce, the baby, and Blackie and Rex, the "pals," all look forward to a happy life together.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"Pals" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
