The Terrible Truth - 50's anti-drug film

In this Cold War era anti-drug film, the point is, if you smoke marijuana, you are destined to become a heroin addict, just like Phylis. Sticking to the principals of red-scare tactics, a Harry Truman-like, hard-nosed narrator leads us through a cautionary tale, where once you start, you are forever a member, just like the commies.

Shot in color in early 1950's Los Angeles.

Classic lines include, "They both 'smoked pot.' That's Jive talk for marijuana." ... Brilliant!
