Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Cowboy and the Girl Synopsis
The scene is a parlor out West, with Ray Mayer sitting at the piano in is cowboy duds - hat, scarf, and chaps. He plays a little barrel-house music and then introduces Edith Evans, who enters wearing fur. She sings - her voice a light-opera soprano - while Mayer plays. After singing one song, she leaves the stage to Mayer, who does another comic song, this one with lyrics. Evans returns, having changed costumes, and sings "Sing me a little baby song," with Mayer's sometimes comic accompaniment. The set ends.
Scotland Synopsis
This is an intensely interesting production. The tourist, the lover of the romantic, and the student will find the scenes of picturesque beauty, sublime, awe-inspiring, wild, weird and magnificent. No collection of scenic subjects is complete without this film. Photographic quality is unexcelled.
"The Cowboy and the Girl" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Scotland" offers its own unique cult appeal.
