Review of The Lost Weekend (1945) by Byron B — 17 Oct 2007
These social issue movies from the 40's really impressed me. Maybe it's cause I'm kinda naive and as I watched these award winners in roughly chronological order, it was as if I was viewing it with the eyes of the original 1945 audience.
The topic and its portrayal was shocking and powerful, whereas by today's standards it would be tame. Someone had to deal with alcoholism back then though so we could get to the point we are today (and deal with today's issues).
The filmmakers presented it very well in my opinion.
