Reefer Madness (1936) Movie Review & Film summary, Cast

I just had the privilege of seeing, at long last, this famous film of great dramatic depth, towering performances, dynamic direction, searing portrayals of crime and punishment, and frenzied piano playing that would put Jerry Lee Lewis to shame. Honestly, the creepiest thing about this film was Joseph Forte, playing the high school principle. With his Himmler glasses and vicious mouth, I thought perhaps his hobbies included imprisoning students and subjecting them to bondage sessions when he wasn’t subjecting the PTA to snore-inducing sermons.
