Dusty and Sweets McGee (1971)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Floyd Mutrux
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Unremarkable look at heroin addicts in LA in the late 60s and early 70s. These pathetic characters accept their addiction like it was just another appetite to be satisfied. We watch them ruin their lives as they prepare their next fix, shoot up and then lay around and stare into space. Much more enjoyable is the soundtrack, not acid rock that one would expect but a mix of oldies from the 50s taken from radio broadcasts.
