Rating: - Overwrought but effectively engaging
This movie is still one of my favorites about the subject of alcoholism. (Tender Mercies is probably the best movie on this subject). The narrative arc is somewhat overwrought. The Jack Lemmon character goes into delirium tremens twice! He does this not after he goes cold turkey and as a result of withdrawal symptoms but after one night of taking up drinking again. That doesn't make sense. Lee Remick's fondness for chocolate as a precursor to possible tendencies to alcoholism I think has been pretty much discredited. Nevertheless, you do wind up caring what happens to the characters. The supporting cast is great. I would recommend the movie.

I loved how it showed the characters saying one thing and doing another, which is so true to these diseased individuals. It's heartbreaking and hard to understand looking at it from the outside. The inner fight is constant and leaves the inflicted always aware they are ... Read More

at the time of the making of this film debbie mc
gowan was my best friend. i never saw the movie but know enough about it by reading the book. i wasn't allowed to see the movie. i still haven't seen it . even though i have met the actors in real life. both jack lemmon and lee remmick were really alcoholic in real life. debbie and i were not treated so well by our parents. anyway i sure would like to see her again. they always choose redheads for parts, she was really lucky. .i am anxious to rent or buy the film and finally see it.it will probably bring back a lot of memories of being 7 again. they took a long time to finally destribute this film. it's not like today .sometimes produciton took 3 years.Days of Wine and Roses, Moon River and Other Academy Award Winners
