Favs/dislikes: 3:0. Silent Films #1 - #420 Sound Films #421 - #1363 Underground Films #1364 - #1412 Stand-Alone TV Programs #1413 - 1430 *Not included are TV series where the whole series is referenced but no specific episodes and the section in the Appendix labeled Drug Abuse Films as it contains many duplicates from other sections and many regional educational films that have little to no information about them online. Not on IMDB*: El Cocaine (1930) - Togo Mizrahi Dancing Powder (1911) Dentiste (1897) Lumiere Dope Trade In Chinatown (1910) The Elixir of Life (1911) UK film Fabricants Clandestins d'Alcool (1908) Gontran Emule de Sherlock Holmes (1912) Halbblut (1913) The Horrors of Drink (1901) R.W. Paul A Late Guest (1910) Pathé Winkle's Great Discovery (1913) Account Settled (1947) amateur 16mm silent British/French film Again (1966) about drugs mixed with music causing suicide Timothy Leary at Folsom Prison (1973) Cold Nose a.k.a. Naso Freddo (1975) Filippo Milani short film Crown Trial (1935) starring Tubby Hayes and directed by Widgey Newman Dr. Jekyll (1964) book sites as originating from Italy but gives no further details Dum Maro (1973?) Indian film about marijuana Electric Ladyland (1972?) Listed in book index but I can't find an actual reference to it on the page referenced in the index. The Evil Weed (1972) silent comedy directed by George Leonard, producer of the band Sha Na Na. Goldfever (1967) dir. Donald Nestington La Guerre de L'opium (1941) germany-produced Images du monde visionnaire (1964) directed by Eric Duvivier A Lone Assassin (1972) Japanese film about drug addict sister LSD: Viaje al Terror (1967?) Spanish-Argentinian Poison Belt (1935) book references it as an American Sherlock Holmes film but the Doyle source book is a sequel to The Lost World, not a Holmes novel at all. Could be mistakenly referenced. Release (1972) by Wiener Filmkollektiv and features Timothy Leary; anti-heroin film Rhythm of Africa (1960?) Book claims it was "conceived" by Jean Cocteau. I've also seen references to this being released in 1948. The Sandal (1970) https://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6cd17c15 Sada Kalo (1954) Indian film starring Gurudas Bannerjee Shangri-La (1968?) Indian documentary about Goa Sharks (1975) Book says it features teens getting loaded on the beach in the opening *For Stand-Alone TV Programs and Underground Films, only films present on IMDB were included on the list as both lists included many very obscure films that I could locate little to no reference to anywhere outside this book. Given the author did much of his research at a local library in San Francisco, the possibility exists than many of the referenced films are super 8mm home movies and other amateur productions that make it difficult to determine the source of. -
