Review of The Lost Weekend (1945) by Gavin W — 29 Feb 2012
The alcoholic writer drinking himself to death has been a cliche of film for decades but it was never done better than in Billy Wilder's masterpiece The Lost Weekend. The film is unflinching and doesn't try to make the main character a quirky drunk but rather vividly portray his alcoholism as the center of the film.
