Select two cult films to compare side by side.
We Moderns Synopsis
A rebellious young British flapper goes against the old-fashioned views of her parents. Although she is attracted to a stable, hard-working engineer named John, she begins a flirtatious relationship with married writer Oscar, who sees her as nothing more than another notch on his bedpost. John and her parents try to dissuade her from carrying on with Oscar, but the more they try, the more determined she becomes to pursue him. Complications ensue.
Indiscreet Corinne Synopsis
Bored with her life as the daughter of wealthy parents, Corinne Chilvers answers an ad in the paper for a woman with a lurid past. Hired to secure a declaration of marriage from South American millionaire Nicholas Fenwick, Corinne assumes the identity of a masked dancer to attract Fenwick's attention. Competing with Corinne for Fenwick's affections is Pansy Hartley, a woman who actually does have a shady past. After a series of misadventures, Fenwick falls in love with Corinne, whose parents, scandalized by their daughter's escapades, disown her. Reporting to her employers that Fenwick has proposed to her, Corinne discovers that the young man is not a millionaire, but rather the object of a publicity stunt, which is aborted when Corinne and Fenwick really do get married. Fenwick then approaches Corinne's parents and persuades them to forgive their daughter for her scandalous behavior.
"We Moderns" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Indiscreet Corinne" offers its own unique cult appeal.
