Alternate Versions
Censor boards in Ohio also had their share of desired cuts. They were:
The line "No honeymooning till after we're married."
Shots of partiers rolling around on the floor togeather in the beach house.
Shot of Joanne preparing to go swimming.
All shots of the women running around on the beach (and presumably all footage of them undressing beforehand).
When Tony says "I'm going yo send you away to have your baby.", the "to have your baby" part was cut.
Newspaper headline "Federal Authorities Powerless To Supress Marihuana Triaffic!" was cut.
The scene in which Burma plots to kidnap her sister's child was ordered to be cut on the grounds that it had dialogue like "you know what the wrap is for a snatch job."
Most people have heard of "Reefer Madness". But if you wanted to see another film that was anti-marijuana in 1936, look no further than "Marihuana", which (not surprisingly) was made by some of the same people.
This film is not the cult classic of its step-brother, and with good reason. It is far less humorous, with the only really notable thing about it being a nude swimming scene that never would have passed the censorship code. In fact, the film is not even really about marijuana so much as a drinking party gone wrong and the bad choices made after the fact.
