Probably one of the best dope movies out there. This, Girl Gang, Twice Convicted, and One Way Ticket To Hell. Then there's the infomercial shorts like The Narcotic Story, The Terrible Truth, Seduction of the Innocent, and Narcotics: Pit of Despair. So there you go. I gave you 8 homework assignments. I'll expect your reviews on my desk as soon as you read this. Now, get to it!
I noticed how one of the men got out of his car, walked to the passenger side and opened the door for the female passenger. How often do you see that now?
The lead in this flick is Paul Kelly. He was known as killer Kelly because he was actually convicted of manslaughter in the 1920s. Check out "Hollywood Babylon" for more details. JR
Very intetesting that this product was available in the 1950s. Perhaps I am not knowledgeable about this history. However, have seen this 🎥 twice n it does hold the viewers attention. Worthwhile. Tks for uploading for all of us to watch.
Dope & Heroin or opiates have been around most likly since before the birth of the USA. Lond in the late eighteen hundreds had it's share of opium dens. It was only after the Great War (1st world war) that legislation was brought in to control it. So Sherlock Holmes was a famous user as can be seen in film. I imagine it's use likly goes back thousands of years.
Watching this again and seeing new things. Was that a "Rocket 88" that one guy was driving? And isn't this about the year that Ike Turner and his band came out with Rocket 88? I heard what I think was the first Rock & Roll song by Jimmy Preston & the Prestonaires doing "Rock This Joint." That was in 1952. I find the music from this period, about post WWII to 1957 to be very worth listening to. I also noticed the film noir aspects of this vid. The use of shadows and light, closeups of a person's eyes in a spotlight. Right out of "Casablanca."
That was an Olds 88 ragtop, looked to be a '52. I owned a 1953 88 years ago. The top Oldsmobile models (longer wheelbase) were Series 98 and the shorter ones were 88. Both had the 303 cubic inch , overhead valve, Olds 'Rocket' engine. The phrase "rock and roll" was used in several songs of the 1930s and 40s and alluded to sexual acts
@@-oiiio-3993 Wow. Very informative, thank you. And you owned one 88 years ago? That was only 67 years ago. You must be at least 100. Yeah, Rock & Roll has always had a sexual element. It just feels so damned good to dance to, shaking your ass.
They were living a simple life then compared to what we are experiencing now days. Some how I think they were better off then and the old adage that says="Ignorance is bliss" means more to me at this age than ever before. These old movies paint the picture.
Movies like this one were actually a way of piquing the interest of the white middle class about something they didn't even know existed, all the while pretending to do a public service. Just a few years later, movies like "The Trip" and "Easy Rider" took it further and glamorized drug usage. Hollywood is an arm of the government/big pharma complex and they WANT you to take drugs. At the same time they love drug laws because it allows them to have massive budgets to fight the problem they helped create!
Always look at price for herione and u will See. Price of a fix Has become way too high these days. I demand a strike or government action or something.

This film has the FBI's finger prints all over it. It's always about the dangers for the youth, what away to get the parents all worked up. That being said I did enjoy it for its campy feel all it's missing is Jack Webb.
Were you off on a bender when you viewed and wrote your comment? Did you miss the junky riveing about experiencing the screaming ab-dabs (with-drawal). 10 days the film said. Does that really seem more fun to you?

The music is interesting. This must have been just pre-rock and roll because the saxophone was the main instrument, playing a kind of watered down jazz. Not a guitar in sight.
