Molly Grows Up (1953) Part 1 of 2

Menstruation education film for young teenage girls, redolent with dated detail. This is the companion film to "As Boys Grow," both written and produced by DM Hatfield. And it's quite clear, from his point of view, that girls end up with the short end of the stick. This film's seriousness about menstuation makes "As Boys Grow" seem light-hearted and cavalier by comparison. This film is such a downer! The boys literally get the "have fun, go ahead and masturbate!" message where girls get the "don't go square dancing!" message. A very dated film. I mean really, was there EVER a time when classrooms had "During Menstruation..." posters? A must see. Producer: Medical Arts Productions
