DRAMA - It's the pause that demolishes... The white powder whose use spells death! Small-town girl Jane (Lois January) readily follows slick Nick (Noel Madison)back to the big city, and into addiction courtesy of the "headache cure" he offers. Campy scare tactics from the '30s that have little if any foundation in reality combine with drugs, sex, and swing music; Sheila Bromley, Dean Benton co-star. Also includes the filmmakers' earlier silent version, "The Pace That Kills." 127 min. Total. Standard; Soundtrack; English.
