FOR HIS SON (1912) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - D.W. Griffith

Written by - Emmett C. Hall

Starring - Charles Hill Mailes, Charles West, Blanche Sweet

"A father concerned for the well being of his son develops a highly addictive drink laced with cocaine called Dopokoke. Griffith’s film is quite famous for being based on speculations of Coca-Cola containing similar substances in its recipes. The film itself runs on traditional storytelling devices, but is gripping and well photographed, being a short by the father of American cinema, D.W Griffith."
