Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Sign of the Rose Synopsis
Phillip Griswold kidnaps his brother William's daughter for ransom, and frames Christmas tree peddler Pietro Balletti for it. In the course of hunting for Pietro, William accidentally kills the Italian's daughter.
Blackmail Synopsis
Confidence artist Flossie Golden attempts to fleece foolish but wealthy James Venable with a breach-of-promise suit. Venable's shrewd attorney, Richard Harding, outwits Flossie by proposing that she marry Venable and live on an allowance of $3,000 per year. Flossie is determined to get even with Harding for ruining her plans. In an attempt to con him, she poses as Innocence Page, but falls in love and marries him instead. Larry, Flossie's former accomplice, endeavors to blackmail her with her errant past, but Harding is already cognizant of the facts and Larry fails.
"The Sign of the Rose" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
