This movie is an excellent portrayal of the way alcoholism blooms, it's joys and it's pleasures mixed with the illusion of happiness that makes it so difficult to realize the hard truth that everyone else sees so much sooner. As the viewer in the movie, we're waiting for the characters to recognize what we've known all along and wondering what tragedy awaits them next. Though in the end we're surprised at the turn their lives have taken. Close this Review

This was an excellent film. Not only is the story well developed (and not predictable), but there is a great use of camera in many of the scenes. I don't this film would have had the impact it did if it had been in color. It's a great portrayal of what happens when alcohol gets in the way of two people who love each other. Close this Review

I didn't want to see Jack Lemmon cry, and when I did, I also shed a tear. This movie is heart breaking- but that is a good thing! It shows how powerful the acting, story, setting,etc is. Blake Edwards work in the 1960s was amazing! This is my favorite performance by Jack. It must have hit him hard, and its tragic, because he suffered from alcoholism throughout his life.
