Description

The Pace That Kills (R-1940s). Fine on Linen. One Sheet (28" X 42.5"). Alternate Title: Cocaine: The Thrill That Kills.
One of the early "drug" films of Hollywood, this poverty row thriller found young kids from the country coming to the big city and being taken advantage of by drug-dealing cocaine fiends. This film had several different releases with different poster art, as it played in exploitation "four wall" theaters. This style of the poster is a first time offer from Heritage. There has been touchup to the folds, the borders have all been shot, the "Thrill That Kills" have been retouched, and there was an area of scuffing on the right side that has been restored. This poster now has an excellent appearance and is extremely rare.
