Description:
Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick are unforgetable-and the title tune wins an Oscar(R) in Blake Edwards' searing, bittersweet study of an alcoholic couple on the rocks. Year: 1962 Director: Blake Edwards Starring: Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick, Charles Bickford
Amazon.com essential video:
Days of Wine and Roses is one film not to watch if you are melancholic by nature, as this tale of middle-class alcoholism rings very true. Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick are the besotted couple who find that life is not always fun when viewed through rosé-colored glasses. He's the San Francisco business executive who marries Remick and seduces her into a cocktail culture that soon overpowers them both. It is not a pretty picture when their life shatters around them, but this film is extremely compelling for their performances. It is matched only by Billy Wilder's Lost Weekend and the more explicit Leaving Las Vegas. This was nominated for five Academy Awards and won for the title song by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer. Filmed by Blake Edwards in 1962, it is based on a Playhouse 90 television production from 1958, starring Cliff Robertson and Piper Laurie. --Rochelle O'Gorman

This movie is still one of my favorites about the subject of alcoholism. (Tender Mercies is probably the best movie on this subject). The narrative arc is somewhat overwrought.

That doesn't make sense. Lee Remick's fondness for chocolate as a precursor to possible tendencies to alcoholism I think has been pretty ... Read More

I never saw this film when I was young, but I found it to be truthful for the most part, although I am not an alcoholic I have known many. I have played in bands for 30 years and even though that doesn't mean your a drunk, it does expose you to bars and a party atmosphere. I am one of the lucky ones who could drink my friends under the table, but resume a normal life the next morning.
This film paints a true picture of how hard it is to kick this habit if you truly are an alcoholic! I have ... Read More

Until The Days of Wine and Roses, Jack Lemmon was known by moviegoers as one of the great comic actors creating three of the greatest movie comedies of the late 50's and early 60's - Mister Roberts, Some Like it Hot and The Apartment. Director Blake Edwards was known for his brilliant comedies including Operation Petticoat and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
But when the two got together it was pure drama. Add to this, Lee Remick in her first mainstream starring role.
