Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Twenty-Four-Dollar Island Synopsis
In 1626, Dutch traders bought Manhattan for $24 of beads and gift product. Within 30 years, there were 1,000 residents, and 300 years later, there were 8 million. This film celebrates the muscle, size, and majesty of Manhattan, starting at the river's edge where a huge-jawed steam shovel dredges. It's on to an ocean liner, then to a hole in the ground where men swing pickaxes, sledgehammers, and shovels. The camera then slowly examines a stately building by the shore. Behind and beside it is the city.
Don't Weaken! Synopsis
A dancing instructor gets involved with a newly rich family.
"Twenty-Four-Dollar Island" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Don't Weaken!" offers its own unique cult appeal.
