Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Climbers Synopsis
The Duchess of Aragon (Irene Rich) is wooed by King Ferdinand VII of Spain, much to the displeasure of his mistress Countess Veya (Myrna Loy), who forces the Duchess out of Spain and into Puerto Rico, where she is forced to behave in very unladylike manners, such as riding horses like a cowboy , and dueling with and fending off various brigands and bandits.
Blackmail Synopsis
Confidence artist Flossie Golden attempts to fleece foolish but wealthy James Venable with a breach-of-promise suit. Venable's shrewd attorney, Richard Harding, outwits Flossie by proposing that she marry Venable and live on an allowance of $3,000 per year. Flossie is determined to get even with Harding for ruining her plans. In an attempt to con him, she poses as Innocence Page, but falls in love and marries him instead. Larry, Flossie's former accomplice, endeavors to blackmail her with her errant past, but Harding is already cognizant of the facts and Larry fails.
"The Climbers" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
