Cocaine Fiends - 1936 - 4/10
Small town Jane flees to the bright lights, meets Nick who gives her “headache powder”.
Soon hooked, and with few prospects, Jane finds illegal work.
Brother Eddie soon arrives, hunting his wayward sister.
Another of Life’s suckers, he’s soon on the powder himself.
Preachy melodrama, often shown in tandem with Reefer Madness, a better, and campier, film.
Actually, this is a remake of The Pace That Kills (1927), likewise more energetic and fun.
Watch if you must, but this is dull and dreary.
Hey, kids! Try this, instead,
