Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Stout Hearts and Willing Hands Synopsis
This Masquers short (the first of the series) is a parody of every old-time melodrama that trod the stages or graced the silver screen...Our Nell...the Old Folks at Home...the Old Homestead...the Villain holding the Mortgage...the pure-as-snow Hero with IDEALs...and the Old Saw Mill with the Heroine tied to a log rapidly approaching the the Old (but sharp) Buzz Saw. All with the Keystone Kops thrown in.
His Royal Slyness Synopsis
An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.
"Stout Hearts and Willing Hands" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "His Royal Slyness" offers its own unique cult appeal.
