Double Feature!

DEATH COMES IN SMALL DOSES 1957
U.S. film. "Thrill Pills!" Long haul, truck-driving speed freaks hopped up on amphetamines frequent truck stops to swing dance to the jiving sounds on the jukebox and score their "bennies."

Chuck Connors (from Rifleman fame) is a hip-talking, dilated-eyed, crazed speed freak who talks a mile-a-minute and looks like he's going to bust out of his skin at any moment.

Death Comes in Small Doses feels like a pulp fiction, adult-themed, exposé paperback novel with its magnetically tawdry tale of a federal agent (Peter Graves) trying to crack a drug ring that preys on long-haul truckers and supplies them with speed.

It's no French Connection, but the film is a fascinating glimpse of a bygone era and if you dig low-budget AA features from the fifties this one is definitely worth a look. "...Ripped from the pages of today's headlines." Peter Graves, Mala Powers, Chuck Connors, Robert Williams, Roy Engel, Merry Anders, Harry Lauter. Death Comes in Small Doses.
