Leofwine_draca Review of No Greater Sin

No Greater Sin (1941)

Part public information film, part melodrama

[3/10 · 4 December 2018]

NO GREATER SIN is one of the more overwrought 'sensation' films out there. Part public information film, explaining the dangers of syphilis, part heated melodrama, this is ridiculous all the way. It was made on a tiny budget and features a talky script and virtually no action or incident at all. Officials in a small town are alarmed by an outbreak of venereal disease among the town's teenage population, and strive to control it. The subject matter was once controversial, but seen today this is laughable at best.
