Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Then Came the Yawn Synopsis
Parody trailers are a dime-a-dozen now but they were a real novelty when this short from Educational Pictures ("The spice of the program!") appeared in movie houses. Its satire of "coming attractions" hyperbole encompasses hillbillies singing "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain" in the manner of synagogue cantors and a gag set in the Frozen North.
His Royal Slyness Synopsis
An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.
"Then Came the Yawn" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "His Royal Slyness" offers its own unique cult appeal.
