Interesting facts

Maryjane is a 1968 American feature film directed by Maury Dexter and starring Fabian and Diane McBain. It was written by Dick Gautier and Peter Marshall. A high school art teacher is framed for drug possession.

Production

According to Maury Dexter "there was nothing salacious or offensive about" the film "but it did have some provocative scenes that showed the results of overindulging and the risks taken when someone needs 'a fix.'"

The movie was shot almost entirely in the Hollywood area. The Doheny Mansion in Beverly Hills was used for some scenes. "The stark beauty of the estate set against the ramblings of a young 'user' was, I thought, quite effective," wrote Dexter later.

Some scenes, including the shoplifting event, were shot in the Conejo Valley and the Decker Canyon Road area between Thousand Oaks and Malibu.

Fabian later described the film as being about "a Good Humor Man who sold marijuana to high school kids."
