Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Lonely Road Synopsis
Betty Austin gives up her dream of going to the city and marries Warren Wade, but she sadly finds him selfish and insistent on her acting like a "clinging vine." Disgusted, she joins her career-girl chum, Leila Mead, in the city, where she meets Dr. Devereaux. Shortly after returning home with Warren, their son is injured. Betty takes him to Dr. Devereaux, and Warren follows, accusing Betty of leaving him for the doctor. Their son is cured; Warren learns his mistake and gives Betty greater responsibility in managing family money matters.
The Son of His Father Synopsis
A young man with little ambition is given an opportunity to set himself up in business by means of financial support from his father. But the young man becomes involved in a shady railroad deal which threatens to destroy his own father.
"The Lonely Road" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Son of His Father" offers its own unique cult appeal.
