Those Who Judge Synopsis
In spite of Angelique Dean's seeming friendship for Chapman Griswold, a society bum, John Dawson falls in love with her and asks the charming and mysterious "widow" to marry him. John then learns from Griswold that Angelique has never been married. When John breaks off the engagement, Angelique is forced to accept Griswold's proposal of marriage, fearing that he will expose the fact that she had been inveigled into a mock marriage with Major Twilling, a British officer. When John, however, learns that Angelique had sacrificed her reputation in order to protect Twilling from scandal, he prevents her marriage to Griswold and marries her himself.
The Black Butterfly Synopsis
Sonia Smirnov, a Paris opera singer known as "The Black Butterfly", starts an affair with young Alan Hall. Hall, however, is still pining over his previous lover, a young peasant girl. Sonia--a former poor peasant girl herself--discovers a secret involving Hall and his former lover that neither knows about, but that involves an incident in Sonia's youth that could affect all of them.
"Those Who Judge" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Black Butterfly" offers its own unique cult appeal.
