Tooth Picks in the Keyhole and Grass Brownies
So the addict and drug dealer played by Al Pacino sneaks into the hospital after visiting hours have ended, and makes friends with an artist/addict named Helen. She was trying to rehab, but was spending a lot of time with the affable addict who was still using and selling injectable addictive substances like heroin.
The movie about Needle Park in NYC was a little too lax about the dangers of addiction featuring way too many scenes showing off Pacino's handsomely infectious smile.
One scene involved a druggie burglar who bragged about putting toothpicks in Apartment door locks so the thief could hear the tenant entering, giving the substance abuser a chance to get away with stolen goods that would help him support his life threatening habit.
From a Movie Review perspective, I wonder if book author James Mills intended for the film to have such a laid back and mellow message to young viewers who might be battling alcohol and drug dependency? The EVERYTHING IS OK ideology works as a stress reliever, but addiction can end lives quickly!
