Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Wild Innocence Synopsis
A film, based on a Cosmopolitan Magazine story by Dorothy Cotterell, is basically a story dealing with civilization's effect and man's cruelty on the Australian outback. It begins with footage of wild animals in their own habitat, and then cuts to episodes of circus life, with Chute, the boxing kangaroo being mistreated by its trainer. Chute's original owner comes to his rescue.
Blackmail Synopsis
Confidence artist Flossie Golden attempts to fleece foolish but wealthy James Venable with a breach-of-promise suit. Venable's shrewd attorney, Richard Harding, outwits Flossie by proposing that she marry Venable and live on an allowance of $3,000 per year. Flossie is determined to get even with Harding for ruining her plans. In an attempt to con him, she poses as Innocence Page, but falls in love and marries him instead. Larry, Flossie's former accomplice, endeavors to blackmail her with her errant past, but Harding is already cognizant of the facts and Larry fails.
"Wild Innocence" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
