Not the type of movie that tends to age well, but this one surprised. The depiction of alcoholism feels a little ahead of its time (the hallucination sequence is terrifying) and has some genuinely affecting moments (none more memorable than the condensation rings on the bar top.) Loved the supporting performances from Howard da Silva as the bartender with a heart, Doris Dowling as the prostitute, and Frank Faylen as the creeply "Bim" on the alcohol ward.

Alright. We get it. Alcohol is bad. And other stories about drinking genius writers you might have heard are not true. There are better movies about alcohol / drug abuse. This approach isn't very entertaining, not very educative, not very credible and not very convincing. Maybe this movie was great when it was released but it doesn't stand the test of time. Plus, it's too long and those narrative flashbacks don't seem to be very clever.

The most remarkable thing is the guy in the bathroom He's the only black guy in an all-white Manhattan I believe. His job is apparently to wipe off the suits of his clients with some sort of straw brush. That picture is kind of disturbing.

Just as hard as Days of wine and roses, the Oscar for the film, actor, direction and script very deserved. When I see or Jane Wyman I always remember her role as Angela Channing in Falcon Crest

A powerful look on Alcoholism. This holds up really well and is still relevant to today. Ray Milland is great.

Don Birnam: Get on the merry-go-round, you gotta ride it all the way. Round and round till that blasted music wears itself out and the thing dies down and clunks to a stop.
