Summary: RAY MILLAND IS SIMPLY BRILLIANT!
Review: This is the film that earned Ray Milland an Oscar for Best Actor in 1946 portraying a convincing alcoholic. What a brilliant, superb performance by Mr. Milland. I was simply entranced by the film's realism especially for Hollywood in the mid-1940s, and I was further captivated by the performance of one its classic leading actors, Ray Milland. I highly recommend this film for those who would enjoy a sobering, intelligent story.

Summary: Must See For Drunks
Review: This movie rocks. Best line of the movie is when Don, commenting on the liquor stores being closed on Sunday morning, remarks sullenly "when a man needs it the most."

Summary: Demon Alchohol
Review: This movie which won 4 academy awards including best picture stars Ray Milland as a debonair drunk who hides alcohol in his apartment and cares more about booze than girls. Playin an aspiring writer, he meets the Jane Wyman character when his ticket stub gets inadvertently switched at the coat rack of a theater: he is perturbed because there is a bottle in its pocket. Even though it's Hollywood, and its dated, it's not easy to watch the Milland character miss his dates, go through delerium tremens, and sink socially because of his obsession with this sometimes-very-addictive legal drug. (The coat caper is rectified by the film's end.)
