Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Soft Boiled Synopsis
John Steele (Frank Beal), a rich uncle, threatens to disinherit his nephew, Tom Steele (Tom Mix), unless the latter learns to curb his violent temper. Tom is put on a 30-day trial and must resist all temptation to get mad or fight back no matter how provoked. And he is easily provoked, especially when called a lavender sissy-boy.
Oh, Baby! Synopsis
Alice appears as Minnie Grabit, just released from prison. She poses as a Salvation Army girl long enough to collect loose change, then later becomes a nurse and finally a servant girl. The incidents are of the knockabout sort, and the eccentric characterizations are funny.
"Soft Boiled" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Oh, Baby!" offers its own unique cult appeal.
