Tod in kleinen Dosen (1957)

Tod in kleinen Dosen: Directed by Joseph M. Newman. With Peter Graves, Mala Powers, Chuck Connors, Merry Anders. A government agent investigates the use of illegal amphetamines among long-haul truck drivers.

“Capable genre director Joe Newman directed this magnetically tawdry tale of a federal agent trying to crack a drug ring that preys on long-haul truckers. This is no French Connection, but itu0026#39;s a fascinating glimpse of a bygone era, and if one has a taste for low-budget AA features of the fifties this one is definitely worth a look. Peter Graves makes a fine Viking hero. Thereu0026#39;s a pseudo-adultness here of the sort one used to find in cheap paperback novels that were basically semi-porn but masquerading (or trying to) as exposes of one sort or another. As with Dragnet, one has to have a certain kind of empathy to get into the spirit of this sort of thing. If you do, this one will reward you handsomely.”
