Despite the fact that I saw For His Son,Reefer Madness and Sinister Menace at the midnight movies in San Diego back in 1976, I still remember every facial expression of this silent movie. D.W. Griffith was a genius at film-making despite the politically correct puritans of our time railing against Birth of a Nation. He was well respected for many years and never received negative publicity with regard to his work. He tackled many different subjects relevant to his time and did well without audio because he was able to extract superior performances from his actors. He knew exactly how a film should look and this one is no exception.
To hell with all the censors, blacklisters and blue-nosed prudes! Watch both movies and enjoy them as entertainment that is more creative than most current Hollywod product.
