The Panic in Needle Park (1971) starring Al Pacino, Kitty Winn. Bobby (Pacino) and Helen (Winn) meet each other in New York City and become involved. Bobby is a small-time hustler and thief, while Helen has just recently been abandoned by her boyfriend. Soon Bobby and Helen are both hooked on heroin, and things go straight downhill from there. The "panic" of the title is a shortage of heroin on the streets. This is a real strong anti-drug movie. What the heck, I'm anti-heroin myself. The subtitles are essential and helpful, though a little hard to read. Grade: B+
