Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesWhen Fanny and Eddie go to the club, Fanny points out "Shirley Claire, the famous actress" and the shot is followed by two stock footage inserts from another film, showing a young man talking to a pretty young woman while seated at a table. This footage is actually from the original The Pace That Kills (1928), and the actress shown was the one who played the original Fanny. So essentially, in this scene, Fanny points to herself.
- PatzerEven though the original title was "The Cocaine Fiends" , and cocaine is the main plot point, no one is ever actually shown doing the drug on screen (every time someone goes for a line, the film cuts to a shot of the dealer watching with glee that he has a new customer/victim).
- Crazy CreditsOpening statement: Among the many evils against which society struggles, one of the most vicious is the traffic in dope . . in every community where the menace developes all the forces which society can mobilize, including social agencies, doctors, law enforcement officials and government band together to stamp it out . . . . . . Without such activity the dope evil would run rampant. Yet it has long been recognized that one other powerful force is necessary before the struggle can be completely successful. That force is an aroused and educated public awareness. It is in the hope of aiding in developing such awareness that this picture has been produced. What happens to Jane Bradford may happen to anyone. There will always be "Jane Bradfords" until you, Mr. Citizen, co-operate with the forces now fighting the dope evil to forever stamp it out in our land. --The Management.

Ausgewählte Rezension
dull and misguided anti-drugs exploitation film
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.
