Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Blonde Saint Synopsis
Playboy novelist Sebastian Maure falls for Ghirlaine Bellamy, a product of a wealthy--and puritanical--society family, a girl so prim and proper that she's known as "The Blonde Saint." One night at a dinner party, she informs Maure that she is engaged to young Vincent Pamfort and is leaving for England the next day to marry him. Maure tricks her into meeting him on board a boat going to Palermo, and before they get there he suddenly grabs her and jumps overboard. They wind up in a fishing village on a small island and before long find themselves caught up in a cholera epidemic and a local criminal gang.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"The Blonde Saint" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
