Review of Marihuana

Marihuana (I) (1936)
2/10
Badly acted, slowly paced propaganda film...
7 January 2007
1st watched 1/7/2007 - 2 out of 10(Dir-Dwain Esper): Badly acted, slowly paced propaganda film on the horrors of marihuana and drugs and they're effect of life. This movie is not quite as over-the-top as "Reefer Madness" but the theme is basically the same -- don't get involved with marihuana, it will ruin your life. This movie adds heroin and alcohol use, skinny-dipping(which definitely puts this film under the Adult status for back then), kidnapping, drowning and gangster connections to the mix. Despite all this variety, the film is hard to get thru the mere 60 minutes because of it's boring and predictable outcomes. Definitely a cult film because of it's display of excesses rarely seen in American films but there's not much here as far as entertainment value, though.
