COCAINE FIENDS(1935)
(AKA: PACE THAT KILLS, THE)
The picture here is very washed out! It's
basically an anti-drug propaganda film!
This has no redeeming value at all. A
very depressing movie which I believe
was it's aim! D
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Also known as 'The Cocaine Fiends' this
film is actually rather dull, and the quality
of prints available for viewing now are fairly
poor. The story of Jane Bradford's fall from
grace after she takes a 'headache cure' isn't
really that interesting, or played particularly
well.
If you've seen 'Reefer Madness', which is
something of a companion piece, then you've
seen the better film of the two. And that
should not be taken as a recommendation!
The 1930s exploitation films, setting
themselves out as some kind of public
education, are all appalling and really
have no relevance today unless they can
amuse or intrigue. 'The Pace That Kills'
can do neither. - didi-5
