Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Golden Lotus Synopsis
A man becomes infatuated with who he believes is a pure and honest woman, not knowing she really is a siren that lures men to the gambling tables to lose all their money.
Phroso Synopsis
An Englishman, Lord Wheatley, purchases an island over which reigns the supremely beautiful Phroso, thus disposessing her of her land. Revolted, the islanders, supported by an adventurer who desires Phroso, rise against the new master. The English are saved by the British governor, also under the spell of gorgeous Phroso. The latter, for her part, is not wholly insensitive to Lord Wheatley's distinction. The imbroglio still worsens with the meddling of a dark horse : the neighboring sultan.
"The Golden Lotus" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Phroso" offers its own unique cult appeal.
