In a frightening portrait, Dennis Weaver plays the man-next-door who gets trapped in the insidious web of cocaine addiction.

While hiding his use from even his wife (Karen Grassle), his dependency escalates, his bank account disappears, mood-swings threaten his job - and finally his body screams out.

1.0 out of 5 stars I just learned that there are 2 movies with this name, March 25, 2007
This review is from: Cocaine - One Man's Seduction [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I just learned that there are 2 movies with the name Cocaine - One Man's Seduction. One with the characters, Hilda Bayley, Flora le Breton, Ward McAllister, and Cyril Raymond. The other movie filmed in 1983, stars Dennis Weaver, Karen Grassle, Pamela Bellwood, and James Spader. I found this movie in the James Spader list. However after reading the character list, it does not look like this is the one made in 1983, with Denis Weaver and James Spader. My reference to this movie is, be aware that it is in the wrong list.
