31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 10: COOL AND THE CRAZY 1957 (DVD-R)

Fun little JD film from the 50's. It's not a horror film, of course, but I included in my 31 Day Of Halloween because it's a pretty cool film...no pun intended.

Scott Marlowe stars as Bennie Saul, a young man who enters a high school and completely turns things upside down for everyone else.

He proves himself worthy to a group of young punks and then he begins to do what he does best, sell marijuana and get the students hooked on it. Another young man named Jackie (Rickard Bakalyan) find Bennie funny, but knows there is something wrong with him.

Bennie gets some of the students hooked on drugs, but then is fired by the main pusher in town and has his supply cut off. Bennie resorts to murder by the final reel and all ends badly for most everyone involved except for Jackie and the young woman he has met named Amy (Gigi Perreau).

This is a fun little time waster directed by William Whitney and well worth your time. The rest of the cast includes Dickie Jones, Ken Plumb and Robert Hadden as the ill fated "Cookie".

This isn't available on DVD here in the USA and my copy is a beautiful print I recorded off of AMC many years ago. Recommended!!
