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!

It is a 2-color version of a poster that was issued in the 1940s. It would seem to date from the 1960s, but that is purely a guess. We think it is surely NOT from the 1970s or later, and we feel certain it is not from the 1930s or early 1940s, but it could from be anywhere in between! We are going with "1960s", so that we are erring on the side of caution, so that it can only turn out that the poster is even older than that. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]. What IS linenbacking?
