An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Vintage One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More) Reefer Madness, the 1936 Louis J. Gasnier marijuana marihuana pot weed drug thriller ("Marijuana drugs, Weed from the Devil's garden!"; "One moment of bliss, a lifetime of regret!"; "Hunting a thrill, they inhaled a drag of concentrated sin!"; "Wake up America! Here's a roadside weed that's fast becoming a national high-way!"; "Women cry for it, men die for it!"; "What actually happens!"; "Never before such exciting frankness"; "A Daring Theme!"; "Dope-created ecstasy avalanching into frightful perversions"; "Makes Beasts of Men & Women"; "Adults only") starring Dave O'Brien, Dorothy Short, Carlton Young, Kenneth Craig, and Lillian Miles. Note that drug and mature movies like these were extremely popular in "late night" showings at small town theaters throughout the 1940s, and they were often re-issued and re-named multiple times. In the case of this movie, it was re-issued under titles such as "The Burning Question" and "Tell Your Children", each time with lurid images and taglines! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that many years ago, a collector found around a dozen of these posters. They are clearly "stock" posters that were used for low budget exploitation movies of the 1930s. All of the ones this collector found were overprinted with the title "Reefer Madness" (but I have also seen the same poster with a different title). What was interesting was that the taglines in the top right were also overprinted on each poster, and there were four different variations of taglines! Condition: No condition recorded.
