Days of Wine and Roses (1962) Official Trailer - Jack Lemmon Movie

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

I saw this movie when I was a teen. Had nothing to do with me or my life. Yet there I was. The movie was indelible. I only saw it once. It was too harrowing to see again. Its sadnesses were too great for me. Lee Remick stunned me like few actresses ever have. She looks into some water, and says how ugly life is....this movie spoke to me very loudly. I've never forgotten it. Never forgotten Lee Remick. Never forgotten Henry Mancini. That beautiful song just pierced my heart. It was all so goddamned sad beyond sad. What the hell was I doing in that movie theatre. I was a kid who drank ice tea, with not much life experience, yet I understood it all too well. I'm now old. No, I did not become a problem drinker. I would not allow myself to become intoxicated. After 30, life is not co-incidental. I met lots of alkies. Lots. I found them appealing. Friends are friends. What the hey? No one ever mentioned Wine & Roses. No one ever said a word about Lost Weekend. Today, they are all gone. And I know perfectly well what Lee Remick meant looking into that reflection.... It's all so ugly.

Indeed; this was such a sad but insightful movie. I was about to be married, in my late twenties, and I went home and poured all my alcohol down the drain.

[@chambeet]

Very sad movie, but I love that it is real, unvarnished. Loved the ambiguous ending. I'm a recovering addict. It is nice to see AA represented in movies, and I can imagine that was pretty rare for the time. Still have yet to see Lost Weekend, although I've seen parts. This is kind of like an earlier version of Leaving Las Vegas. I absolutely adore anything Jack Lemmon does, and yes, Lee Remick is fully his equal in this. Some of their scenes together are DEVASTATING. Just writing about it makes me tear up. Beautiful film.

This landmark film changed the perception of excessive drinking from that of the happy drunk to the self-destructive alcoholic. This movie brought alcoholism front and center as a deadly disease that can destroy the alcoholic and everyone around him/her. Every now and then a simple movie can change the world for the better. “The Days of Wine and Roses” did just that.

[@dalegoodman9779]

Jack Lemon introduced himself as 'Jack from the entertainment business' in AA circles. He really believed in his role and the movie's subject matter because he lived it and recovered from it one day at a time. Rest in peace, Jack!

[@lynnfahey6450]

❤❤ I was married to a recovering alcoholic. Unfortunately he went back on the booze, and it killed him 😢. So sad 😞

[@DarlingVampire]

My mother was a severe alcoholic and she watched this film all the time. Along with Leaving Las Vegas and The Lost Weekend, Barfly, etc etc. Painful memories of a desperate attempt to understand one's own addiction.

[@chambeet]

For sure. In my drinking days, I watched Leaving Las Vegas a ton. All these movies really captured something about the essence of being a drunk. When you're drunk, you kind of think of yourself in a doomed romantic way that is captured in these movies, when looking from the outside, of course, you're just a mess.

[@kathyshore1004]

It was a great movie. Any of us who've lived with alcoholism can attest how true to life this movie is. Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick were outstanding.

[@kenhunt278]

I was in rehab in 2017 (a really good well-known one), where a film was shown some nights in the barn after dinner. They were mostly crap, "H.J. Wick'n'stuf." But on my last night -- after months -- we got this, a film I had heard about forever, Mancini I had known longer, I was rivited. Looked around soon -- everyone was gone, B&W boo. The mind boggles. But on my last night, we got this.

[@QuintTheSharker]

Jack Lemmon really was such an amazing actor

[@miguelangelzegarragarrido7904]

Yes

[@blodwyndavies6395]

A sublime film without the happy ending which were portrayed in so many films from this era. Blake Edwards best work.

[@edkeaton]

I absolutely love Jack Lemmon and his films and this was the one that was extremely hard for me to watch at first. His performance as "Joe Clay" was both heart-breaking and riveting, especially in the greenhouse and the violent ward scenes. His intensity was terrifying. Both he and the very beautiful Lee Remick would put on some powerful acting. Kudos to both director Blake Edwards for his great direction and for composer Henry Mancini for his beautiful theme song. RIP to all of them. My favorite scenes were with both Jack Lemmon and Jack Klugman. 😎❤️🌹🌹🍾🍷🍷

[@marybarrett2002]

My mother’s favorite movie… she was an alcoholic… A wonderful movie…

[@annalieff-saxby568]

I watched this at an "arthouse" cinema some time in the early 80s. It moved me deeply. And I've never been able to forget the recipe for Brandy Alexander.

[@karenmackey9688]

Very sad movie. Lee Remick was really good. Best movie I've ever seen about alcoholism...it stands up. The movie Flight comes very close

[@Whatt787]

When I was 14, I got drunk at a party, and threw up the next morning, never had another drink after that, today I'm a very healthy 70 year old

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

Kirsten started drinking with Joe, who was already well on his way to being an alcoholic. In the end he was fighting for his sobriety, mostly for their daughter’s sake. Kirsten wasn’t strong enough. That was an unheard of scenario in a film in 1962 - the mother walking away from her child.

[@LPJack02]

RIP Charles Bickford (January 1, 1891 - November 9, 1967), aged 76 RIP Jack Klugman (April 27, 1922 - December 24, 2012), aged 90 RIP Jack Lemmon (February 8, 1925 - June 27, 2001), aged 76 RIP Lee Remick (December 14, 1935 - July 2, 1991), aged 55 You will be remembered as legends

[@MatthewMorris-kg3uq]

Oh jack you were one of the greats 😢

[@acdragonrider]

Good film. Super sad and only strengthens my hate of alcohol and everything to do with it.

[@BPDHANA]

Oh man i remember watching this film! It's very well-crafted drama. The ending really breaks my heart 💔💔

[@luckyman09]

I remember being in rehab in an alcoholic treatment centre I was 19 that was nearly 28 years ago I remember them showing me this film

[@susanb2015]

I saw the movie with Linda Blair

[@gregoryedgerton41]

I'm a billion-years old and I've never seen this. I've heard it's very sad. That's all I need. I have had this very- same experience. Man talk about a conundrum. It was a nightmare.

[@jccurran9327]

You must catch thí movie. It was/is fantastic !

[@BPDHANA]

The ending is quite devastating! 😭😭

[@danielwalker6511]

God Love Jack Lemon he was a Genius Amen 💪✌️😎

[@gabrielnavarro3833]

This movie made me so sad. Knowing I had worked with a few alcoholics, that went downhill. I always wondered if they ever survived. I cry, just thinking about them. While I did nothing to help them, because I was so ignorant about alcoholism at the time.

[@jamespfitz]

You can't "help" an alcoholic. You can support them and love them, but their addiction is their's alone to confront.

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

@@gabrielnavarro3833 Gabriel, in Program, they teach that no one made you pick up that first drink, but you. No one can make you put down that last drink, but you. Gabriel you might have helped just by being around. It's a lonely road.

[@TheThumper0813]

I live with one and am not happy. As far as being told what qualifications do I have? The only value that a non-alcoholic has to an alcoholic is a valid driver's license and good credit.

[@eshjane]

How alcoholism destroys your marriage and life. 😞

[@Count1jt]

There won’t be another actor like Jack Lemmon who played their character from the heart. Now days they do it with money.

[@normadesmond6017]

wonderful movie

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

It is a great one up there with Lost Weekend and come back little Sheba!

[@baymike5]

I have heard that Bill Withers wrote the song Ain't no Sunshine after watching this film. Reminded about going back for seconds of rat poison. Sometimes we miss whats not good for us.

[@luisfraga9970]

I was expecting a comedy. This film definetly got me out of guard

[@SpeedyEric1]

0:08- (As Joe Clay) Who wants to play with the dingy?! 1:00- This alcoholism story hits hard, but this is not what I meant. 1:44- (As Jack Lemmon) Anyways, ever wake up in a flop sweat puking up bile 'til you stop shaking long enough to be able to stand on your feet, and squeeze out just enough urine 'till the pain stops? Well, see our picture. 3:28- It would have been great if the same pitch was used in Out to Sea (1997).

[@danatersigni6650]

Great movie

[@mwmann]

A pretty close resemblance to my former marriage. I still love her deeply. We both fell deeply into alcoholism after having a seemingly perfect marriage for 10 years. It took 13 years to dissolve completely after that.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

The narrator at the beginning was Paul Frees unless I am mistaken.

[@richardcorral5730]

Excelente película ...!!!!

[@jettp3810]

If there a remake of this movie, Rhee Seehorn should be considered for the part played by Lee Remick. They do resemble each other.

[@leadsolo2751]

Loved the Theme, never knew what it was about until now - Thank God I've always hated Alcohol &, though I am a social drinker, never hv a 'drink' unless there's formal reason to

[@carmelobottieri6272]

If you watch this drunk it’s really quite a charming picture.

Lemmon surely should have won the Oscar over Gregory Peck for MOCKINGBIRD!

[@pauldavies5611]

Yeah, that’s Hollywood for ‘ya: this is why I don’t watch the Oscars.

[@jcjohnsong8570]

If you don't think an actor deserved it the year they won ... notice if the were nominated for some exceptional work the year before and lost. Often ... The Oscar will go to an actor who should have won the year before but they loss to a less deserving nominee that year. They seam to make up for not giving it when the truly deserved it by giving it the next year. Peck was nominated the previous year and lost ... The movie ... The Guns of Navarone (1961)

Never been a fan of Jack Lemmon, strikes me as a born idiot due to all of his weird and odd facial expressions plus his shrill nature. Sorry they didn't cast another actor in his place.

[@michaelrube9881]

I wouldn't regard myself as a Jack Lemmon fan, but he was so good in this film.

[@pablotabloz]

This looks like an awful movie. Was this supposed to be a PSA?

[@introvertedrobot]

It's actually really great, talking about the dangers of alcoholism and how it can ruin your life. It's a very depressing movie.

[@gordonbartlett1921]

It happens to be an outstanding film -- one of the two best films on alcoholism (the other being The Lost Weekend). Try actually watching the whole film. You might understand.

[@harlankrissoff9966]

Dont judge a movie by the trailer. It is a fantastic movie.
