Marihuana
-
During the golden age of the roadshow, no exploiteer returned to the drug theme more often that DWAIN ESPER. After the infamous short Sinister Menace and the feature-length Narcotic (both 1933), Esper and his screenwriter wife, HILDAGARDE STADIE, unleashed Marihuana, the first of the famous trilogy of anti-pot films of the 1930's which included Reefer and Assassin of Youth. Esper delivered on his promise to show "weird orgies, wild parties, and unleashed passions."
"High spirited" Burma Roberts (HARLEY WOOD) is not only cursed with a dippy name, but a mother who doesn't pay her any attention. Since Mom is too busy making sure Burma's sister, Elaine, has her hooks into wealthy Morgan Stewart, Burma starts hanging with a fast crown. At a roadhouse where the debauchery includes balloon popping), she and her friends meet Tony Santello, the local pusher: "Where they're that age, they're not suspicious and easily hooked!" Tony invites the gang to his beach house where they drink, dance and sample his "giggle weed.""
The shot of Burma taking her first puff of pot is alone enough reason to make Marihuana a must-see. But it's followed by one of the famous scenes in roadshow history: as a cackling Burma makes love to her boyfriend Dick, the girls peel out of the dresses and streak down the beach to skinny-dip in the surf, complete with shocking-for-its-time nudity!

Princess and the Magic Frog
-
Oh, dear Lord, forgive me for I have seen the face of Satan and he is called The Princess and the Magic Frog...Yes, boys and girls, here's another mind-boggling children's film, straight from the mid-Sixties, when Americans would dump their youth at the local theater's "Kiddie Matinee" and subject the poor tots to all manner of cinematic torture. Such as The Princess and the Magic Frog, a long-unseen rarity that's so hilariously impoverished, it makes Jimmy the Boy Wonder look like a multi-million dollar work of art.
Daredevil
-
Though best known for the Mexican horror films he imported and dubbed into English, as well as numerous foreign children's films sold as"Kiddie Matinees" throughout the Sixties producer K. GORDON MURRAY also dabbled in American-made Southern-style exploitation such as Shanty Tramp (1966), Savages from Hell (1968), Thunder County (1974), and The Daredevil, the last starring role for Hollywood cowboy GEORGE MONTGOMERY. A crazed mix of racing, racism, and drug smuggling, THE DAREDEVIL; another portrait of The Redneck as an American icon with an attitude that's about midway between Thunder Road and Smokey and the Bandit, helped in no small amount by the casting of big George.
