The disease of Lesbianism

I found this fabulous Video on Lisa Baxter’s site. Hollywood cranked out hundreds of short propaganda and public awareness campaign films back in the 40’s and 50’s.
This little gem deals with Lesbianism, which at the time was viewed as a disease rather than a lifestyle. It was written and produced by Cecil B. DeMille and Alfred Hitchcock.
For brevity the film has been edited to its opening introduction, and the crucial last five minutes of the film, which has Norman Bate’s fingerprints all over it.
It makes you wonder why they spend all that money on tedious sitcoms when they could just re-run these over and over.
