Both of these movies were produced in 1936, with guidance and support of US Law Enforcement agencies who, at that time, were pushing for the criminalization of marijuana. Although the films have achieved a level of cult status among pro-marijuana supporters since the 1960s, beneath the humor in their ridiculously over-exaggerated drama and angst, realize that this type of propaganda actually had an effect on society and the public’s acceptance of the drug policies we still live under to this day. Please remember these films are 75 years old, and were originally filmed in black and white, on celluloid. ~ kawli
