An Original 1940s (from the first release of this movie in Belgium and re-titled "Tell Your Children" for the Belgian release) Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 11 1/2" x 14 3/4" [29 x 37 cm]) (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!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 11 1/2" x 14 3/4" [29 x 37 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded across the middle at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. UPDATED 04/06/2011: Note that, as is explained in the description, this film (and others like it) became popular in the 1940s and we believe that this is a 1940s Belgian first release and NOT a 1936 first release as we initially listed. Condition: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). There are creases and scuff marks throughout from it being oddly folded at one time and there is some ink transfer along the bottom edge and pencil marks around the edges of the poster in the blank borders. Fortunately, the poster's defects are pretty minor and would be greatly minimized during the linenbacking process and the poster will surely display quite nicely with little paint restoration needed in the artwork area!
