Auction History Result NARCOTIC LC  Appears in Horror Movie PostersBOOK SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the book we published as shown above. While we once owned this item, we did not auction it through eMoviePoster.com (which is why no price or date is listed) nor do we have it available for purchase. Narcotic, the 1933 Dwain Esper & Vival Sodar't drug addiction medical doctor melodrama ("The quagmire that drags down fair women"; "Interpreted by Dwain Esper"; about a doctor who becomes addicted to drugs, and ends up working in a carnival show selling bogus medicine so that he can fuel his ever increasing habit!) starring Harry Cording, Joan Dix, Patricia Farley, Jean Lacy, J. Stuart Blackton Jr. Note that Dwain Esper was well known for lurid exploitation movies, and this one is no exception. The movie opens with a scrolling introduction about how it is a warning about the dangers of drugs, and then it shows a suicide note being written by a doctor, and then it flashes back to a scene of the doctor performing an emergency caesarean section, and stock medical footage of a real C-section is used, which no doubt horrified 1933 audiences. And there is a long "party" sequence late in the movie where drug addicts use a variety of drugs, including injection through hypodermic needles, which was really rough stuff for the time. No doubt the movie only played in a very limited release, and first release movie paper from it is virtually impossible to find! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
