Note de sfergus483
The usual definition for this is a film that takes a sensationalistic issue and uses it to gain notoriety and attention, by being scandalous or presenting something not normally seen in conventional films.
This is more a sincere morality tale. The co-director, Dorothy Davenport (credited as Mrs. Wallace Reid) was the widow of an actor who died of drug addiction, and then set out expose the dangers of vice.
That distinction is pretty crucial in understanding why it was made and what its context is.
That said, had this not been made right before the Hays office came in and cracked down, it could not have been made. It covers all sorts of issues that soon after would not have been allowed, irrespective of how much they were condemned.

The posted comment about wanting to see the "widescreen" version needs to be addressed.
As the listing for the film indicates, Thunder Bay was filmed with a standard Academy ratio of 1.37x1. That was the way it was meant to be shown. Universal then chopped off the top and bottom of the image - totally destroying the spatial integrity of the image - to claim that it was a "widescreen" film.
It must have looked awful. Count yourself lucky you don't get to see it.
(This horrible trick was also tried for the mid 1960s reissue for Gone With the Wind, where it was blown up to 70mm and released in a 2.35x1 ratio, which was just awful.)
