 “She
Shoulda Said No!” is a film that dares to tell the
truth about the dreaded sex-drug cigarette,
marihuana. The use of the drug, especially among
young people, is increasing in America to a marked
degree and it is certain that this picture, which
tells the story from the first “reefer” to its
appalling consequences, the insanity of one of its
young victims, will be seen as a frightening lesson.
Heading the Hollywood cast is blonde Lila Leeds, the girl
who knows the truth about marihuana, for it was Lila
who was involved with actor Robert Mitchum in the
notorious narcotics case which ended in jail
sentences for them both.
“She Shoulda Said No!” introduces the plausible Markey
as a ruthless peddler of the illegal drug. He sells
it indiscriminately to the young people in his town
and his actions result in the death of three people
when their car crashes. This leads the police and
State Narcotics Bureau to set about investigating
the source of marihuana.
It is to be understood that “She Shoulda Said
No!” tells a story which could happen to anyone
who uses the drug. It is a Hallmark Production,
released through British Empire Films.
ABOVE: Lila Leeds, the
star of “She Shoulda Said No!” served a jail
sentence as a result of her implication in marihuana
traffic. Since that time her name has been banned
from all film credits and she appeared anonymously
in this film when it was released in America.
