Review of The Death of Richie

I was 15 when i saw this movie , My father forced me to watch it ,In the 70s any movie with Robbie Benson was interesting to watch for us teens . It was a good movie about drug abuse Ben Gazzara as the father was a great performance if a little exaggerated and over the top . I blame this movie for making me curious about drugs and it caused me to experiment with drugs , My father told me if he ever caught me doing drugs he would do to me what the father in that movie did to Robbie Benson . He caught me and did nothing.
