Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
This Sporting Age Synopsis
Captain John Steele (Jack Holt) is a model father, a nine-chukker polo player, and a gentleman, and his attractive daughter, Mickey Steele (Evalyn Knapp) is his pride and joy. She, in turn, is in love with decent and honorable Johnnie Raeburn (Hardie Albright), but is compromised by caddish Charles Morrell (Walter Byron), also a reknown polo player. To avenge his daughter's betrayal, Captain Steele engages Morrell in a polo game that ends in in the caddish blackguard's death---an act of deliberate manslaughter by Steele. Polo club members, gentlemen all, called it good riddance.
The Night Riders Synopsis
In Alberta, Canada, a Cornish emigrant unmasks a rustler posing as the girl's "blind" father.
"This Sporting Age" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Night Riders" offers its own unique cult appeal.
