DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES
“From the days of wine and roses finally comes a night like this.” In a dramatic departure from the light comedies of his early career, Jack Lemmon gives a heartbreaking performance as a San Francisco PR man whose drinking habit has overwhelmed his life. Lee Remick plays his beautiful young wife, who began drinking as a way to bond with her husband — but if she can’t join him on the wagon, they may not have a future together. Featuring sure and sensitive direction from Blake Edwards, not yet pursuing comedy as his specialty, the film earned five Academy Award® nominations, including Best Actor and Actress for Lemmon and Remick; the title composition by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer won the Academy Award® for Best Song. DIR Blake Edwards; SCR J. P. Miller; PROD Martin Manulis. U.S., 1962, b&w, 117 min. NOT RATED
