Innocent Party (1959)

★★★★★ · Syphilis in living color! · 23_skidoo · 2007-07-21

A rare Centron color educational film, as Centron normally only used color for its industrial productions. But this wasn't just any regular educational film. It was an important script on venereal disease commissioned by the Kansas State Board of Health. In fact, it was the first VD film aimed specifically at teenagers. Don, played by Harper Barnes (Ron in "The Snob") and his buddy Nicky (Larry Sneegas) are in the city one night, and decide to pick up a couple of trashy girls off the street. One thing leads to another, and soon they've all had sex. Then Don goes parking with his "nice"…

Centron color productions are certainly rare, so this was fun to see, you can see a lot of faces from previous productions.. Only in color! Weee! In this case we follow a man who contracts VD from a cheap hustle off the street then he unwittingly gives it to his girlfriend during a wild parking session, if you know what I mean. Soon, heÃÂs off to the doctor because he has a pain ÃÂdown thereÃÂ. The doctor gives him the bad news.. HeÃÂs got a syphilis sore on his special organ. Yes, thatÃÂs what the doctor calls it, his ÃÂspecial organÃÂ. This is probably the unsexiest sex ed film ever. Even…

★★★ · Centron... In Color · Wilford B. Wolf · 2005-03-20

Melodramatic Centron film about VD, specifically syphillis. Don, a dashing high schooler goes out on the town and parks with a girl he meets. Later, his hormones go wild again and parks with his best girl on the way home from a party. Clearly the cause of VD is parking. He has concern about a sore that showed up on his penis (though the word is never mentioned in the film, not even by his doctor, who calls it his "special organ"), which is dismissed by his friend, but he goes to the doctor anyway. The doctor tells him he is infected and tries to get Don to tell him all the girls he's been…

★★★ · Saw this film as a high school Senior, just before I graduated · tondelayo · 2005-08-24

I found this film and remembered that it was the film that they brought only the high school Seniors into the auditorium to see, just before we graduated [this would have been in January or February, 1963, for me, in the Los Angeles, CA area]. There was no discussion before or after, just the showing of the film, then we all went back to our classes in silence. We all had a lot to ponder. God, it's good times have changed!

★★★ · Syphilis and Busted Hymen · JayKay49 · 2018-12-07

It's the hymen thing that's really got that chick upset. Remember she was bawling in the car weeks before she found out that he not only fucked her, but he also infected her. Bet she goes lesbo - at least for a while - maybe not forever, though. Chicks are facultative about that stuff, and sometimes eventually get over stuff like this and flip back the other way. I'm not sure chicks even know what a hymen is these days. It's another word purged from the English language. And with tampons & stuff, hymens may be an endangered species - just like foreskins I guess.
