The Drag
(L'Homme-cheminée)

Canada (1966): Animated/Family

A color cartoon about tobacco addiction and the difficulty of breaking the habit. This case history of a chain smoker -- told on a psychiatrist's couch, with the patient's recollections amusingly illustrated -- explains the whole psychology of the smoking habit and the part that cigarette advertising plays in making it stick. The film has an entertaining appeal for young people. Directed by Carlos Marchiori. (NFB - Canada)
