Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Soft Living Synopsis
Nancy Woods, secretary to a divorce lawyer, is so tantalized by the idea of collecting alimony payments that she marries Stockney Webb with the intention of fleecing him after the honeymoon. Realizing that he has been fooled, Webb determines to teach Nancy, whom he truly loves, a lesson in humility and wifely behavior by taking her to his cabin in the wilderness. The story finishes with a happy ending for both.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"Soft Living" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
