The First Year Synopsis
"The First Year" was a 1920 play written by Frank Craven and produced by John Golden that originally ran on Broadway at the Little Theatre. It closed in 1922 after 760 performances. In 1932, a film adapted from the Craven play was written by Lynn Starling. The film starred Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, and was directed by William K. Howard. Gaynor and Farrell made almost a dozen films together, including Frank Borzage's classics "Seventh Heaven" (1927), "Street Angel" (1928), and "Lucky Star" (1929); Gaynor won the first Academy Award for Best Actress for the first two and for F. W. Murnau's "Sunrise" (1927).
Lunatics in Politics Synopsis
Two female candidates for Chief of Police live across the hall from each other, and their political rivalry follows them home, leading to plenty of hi-jinks.
"The First Year" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Lunatics in Politics" offers its own unique cult appeal.
