  • Good Movie

    For many reasons I didn't watch this movies for many years and now that I've seen it several times it's one that I wanted to add to my library. Like Days of Wine and Roses this is a harrowing tale about the damages done by alcohol both to the individual and to their family and friends.; the scene where he's picked up by the police and taken to the psych ward where the attendant tells him what his future will be is chilling as is the scene in the liquor store once he leaves the hospital. The movie is saved from being totally bleak and depressing by the ending. The supporting cast is wonderful, the brother who after years is finally fed up to the point of giving up and Jane Wyman as the girlfriend who says she no longer loves him but she refuses​ to give up despite all the disappointments of the past and the current situation. This is a movie that everyone who has been involved in this situation needs to see and encourage others to watch. While the hospitals may not be as terrible as they were then I'd imagine that it's not a place for those suffering from either alcohol poisoning or withdrawals despite the advances made in medicine. Until scientists learn which gene and how to neutralize it I'm afraid that those suffering with any type of substance abuse issues are in for a lifelong struggle.

  • Alcoholic Not So Anonymous

    The classic rendition of the evils of alcoholism. It is well done and entertaining even though it deals with a depressing subject. It has the usual, old fashioned, happy ending but before that things are pretty stark and gritty. The featured players are very good in their roles and it garnered some Oscar awards.

  • 75 years old and still relevant

    I always wanted to have my own copy of this film. I saw it many years ago when I was a young man and the drama always stayed with me. I'm glad that the DVD was available and less than $10. The DVD came within a week and I couldn't be more pleased with the transaction.

  • Great Movie Experience

    This is a great movie that addresses addiction in a somewhat comical but serious way.

  • The Lost Weekend

    Just about the worst movie I have ever seen. A very boring movie and total waist of time... I wish I could give it less than one star.
