From the 1940's to 60's, Hollywood cranked out hundreds of short propaganda and public awareness campaign films. This one in particular deals with Lesbianism, which at the time was not viewed as a lifestyle, but rather a disease.

Cecil B. DeMille, whom always was ready to contribute to the pre/post war campaigns, was often called upon to direct these films. Many of the scripts for these films were written by a very talented writer, whom unknown at the time, but later would go on to become a household name, Alfred Hitchcock.

Because of the length of the film, I edited it to its opening introduction, and the crucial last five minutes of the film, which has Alfred Hitchcock written all over it, with all the suspense of PSYCHO ! Just imagin your watching "Night of the Living Dead" and replace the Zombies with lesbians.

Now remember, this was a serious subject matter of the time, so try not to laugh too hard.

    im not sure about this film. i mean, the oppening credits clearly indicates a 1965 copyright. In this year, Hitckcock was already famous and well known, and Cecil B. Demille was already dead. So.....
    im pretty sure theres is an authenticity on how lesbianism was treated at that time, wich was crazy.
    but this film looks like a fake.

    Good video, but it is a fake. The CDC was called the Communicable Disease Center up until 1970 when it was renamed Center for Disease Control. (ref:cdc.gov/about/history/60th.htm). Unless Mr Hitchcock had a time machine too that is...

    This is true and if anyone tells you otherwise about homosexuals they liars and homosexuals themselves. Don't believe the hype, gays are not people.

    Lesbians are so boring.

    I liked the video but I have trouble believing that this is a real propaganda film.
