Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Sound Test for Blackmail Synopsis
Alfred Hitchcock makes an experiment in this short film where he uses the sound device for the first time in a motion picture of his own. This is a sound test where the master of suspense and actress Anny Ondra have some humored dialogues, just checking the sound quality designed for Hitchcock's first talkie picture, the classic Blackmail (1929).
Down the Mississippi Synopsis
The simple story is about two siblings, little brother Bud and big sister Susie. After they've been reading "Huckleberry Finn" they dream of adventures on the Mississippi River.
"Sound Test for Blackmail" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Down the Mississippi" offers its own unique cult appeal.
