Don Birnam, a long-time alcoholic, has been sober for ten days and appears to be over the worst... but his craving has just become more insidious. Evading a country weekend planned by his brother and girlfriend, he begins a four-day bender that just might be his last - one way or another.

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.

An Oscar-studded warning film that was, no doubt, far more potent seventy years ago. In addition to three other wins (including Best Picture), leading man Ray Milland took the gold for his central performance as a desperate, cash-strapped, bridge-burning alcoholic at the end of his rope following ye More

A truly evocative tour de force from Ray Milland in this semi-autobiographical tale of four days in the life of writer Charles R. Jackson - characterised here as "Don Birnam" - whose life as a writer is frequently wrecked by his chronic alcoholism. Just when he might be on the wagon, however, his ad More

This Best Picture winner (also won for director, actor and screenplay) was decently acted, albeit a bit too theatrical (stage type) for my taste but still well made movie with what I assume is a realistic take on alcoholism (never drank myself) from director Billy Wilder. It is a bit optimistic in t More

One of Billy Wilder's best films, and certainly Ray Milland's best performance as he's cast against type playing a failed alcoholic author. Milland perfectly captures the despondent, manipulative and even criminal behavior of the lead character. More than 70 years after its release this film still p More
