The Lost Weekend (1945)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 101m
Director: Billy Wilder
Cast: Ray Milland, Jane Wyman, Philip Terry

Synopsis:

A long weekend in the life of an alcoholic, as he tries to quit.

Review:

Incredibly brave of Paramount to allow Brackett and Wilder to adapt this novel for the screen. Wilder uses every trick in the book, from the opening crane-in on Milland's window to the use of cold turkey hallucinations, and the central performance is a career best. This is a milestone in Hollywood's handling of difficult subjects.
