Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Rip-Tide Synopsis
When he left for India, she was sweet, shy and unspoiled. He returned to find a woman of the world - cynical, brilliant and hard. What had brought about this change? Perhaps it was Count Boris Voronsky, a man who was absolutely unscrupulous and had a soul that knew naught but evil. And yet two women loved him tenderly, faithfully and devotedly. And when, pallid and trembling, he cringed before his impending doom, both women strove to help him avert the fate that was rightfully his.
The Gods of Fate Synopsis
When George Estey dies just after completing an important invention, his friend, John Miller, steals the plans and makes a fortune selling them. Then, stricken by a guilty conscience, he adopts Jane, George's orphaned child and the rightful owner of the invention. Years later, after having raised Jane as his own daughter, John dies. In his will, he discloses his theft of the plans and reveals Jane's true identity. He then leaves all of his money to Kent, his worthless son, provided that he marry his "sister." Jane, however, wants to marry Gordon, her other "brother," who is determined that Jane get all of the money from George's invention. Furious, Kent tries to murder both Jane and Gordon, but he fails, and the police quickly arrest him. Jane is then awarded the rights to George's invention, after which she and Gordon plan their life together.
"The Rip-Tide" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Gods of Fate" offers its own unique cult appeal.
