Motion Picture Purgatory: Death in Small Doses

By Debi Moore

Before he started plying his trade on the popular TV series “Twilight Zone” and “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour”, back in 1957 director Joseph M. Newman cast macho men Peter Graves and Chuck Connors in a little known (nowadays anyway) exploitation type flick entitled Death in Small Doses. Leave it to Trembles to put it on our radar!

Synopsis:
A government agent investigates the use of illegal amphetamines among long-haul truck drivers in this picture that crosses the forbidden territory…of THRILL PILLS!

Check out Trembles’ take on the film below, and just be sure you don’t confuse this old classic with the 1995 TV movie of the same name directed by Sondra Locke and starring Richard “John-Boy” Thomas.

My way or the high way!
