Review of The Lost Weekend (1945) by Andy P — 11 Jan 2014
It's an intelligent and unsparing look at the grim degradation of alcoholism from a time when drunkards in Hollywood movies were figures of farce. It's thundering impact is a result of Wilder pulling us along with Don Birnam, a career defining role for Ray Milland on his horrific downward trajectory, rather than allowing us to watch with detached compassion.
