REVIEWS

Review by Alan J. Weiss (posted on 13-Oct-2007)

One of Hollywood's best films -- along with "The Lost Weekend" -- to depict the tragedy of alcoholism. Both Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick give amazing performances as a couple trapped in a downward spiral of drinking, from which neither can escape; one he tries, she brings him back down, and vice versa. This is a very intense and believable film that is tough to watch, but very worthwhile and incredibly well-acted, brilliantly written, and painstakingly directed by Blake Edwards. Truly one of Hollywood's best classsics, this film is highly recommended for the movie buff and acting student alike.
