Movie Reviews of MarihuanaMovie Review: pre-code marvel Summary: 3 Stars
Even by Pre-Code standards this film pushes the limits. MARIHUANA is a movie along the same lines as "Reefer Madness" and "Assassin of Youth"; the story of a rich girl seduced by the 'giggle weed'.
Deeply resenting the entire family being pre-occupied by her sister's wedding to a rich and eligible young man; Burma (played by Harley Wood) gets caught up in the wrong group of kids, who spend their weekends skinny-dipping, smoking weed and having wienie roasts. It's during this party that Burma gets pregnant, but is forced to give the baby up for adoption.
Burma goes to work selling drugs to hooked and hopeless housewives (don't ask), before she comes up with a plan to kidnap her own sister's child and hold it for ransom...
MARIHUANA is a more-than-worthy companion piece to "Reefer Madness". Both feature some of the most bizarre and inane acting to ever find it's way onto the screen. Very much a Pre-Code production, MARIHUANA also features a scene of female nudity that I'm surprised even made it out of the cutting-room. Harley Wood plays the hard-boiled drug dame to the hilt, spewing out caustic lines like nobody's business!
If you enjoy your movies cheap and tawdry, you'll get a kick out of this.
