 Amazing Acting May 28, 2000
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you appreciate great acting, this is a must see. Jack Lemon in this movie demonstrates why he is one of the greatest actors of all time, if not the best. In addition to an amazing performance by Jack Lemon, the story line is excellent.
 It was an execellent novel and movie. November 11, 1999
My father told me I should watch this because it was part of my families past. The Lost Weekend which was also on your list, was written by one of my past relatives in my now Second cousin's cottage in Glenora, New York. So for all I do recommend both of these wonderful stories.

"They are not long, the days of wine and roses. Out of a mysic dream, our path emerges for awhile--then encloses within a dream . . ."No movie had ever gotten to my sensitive side like E.T. did when I was a kid. Then I saw this film which remains my number one favorite movie of all time. The tragic story stayed on my mind for days, as well as the characters, and the haunting title song. It got me a tad bit melancholic just to watch a normal couple's harrowing plunge into the dependency of alcohol. Jack Lemmon is also my favorite actor, because of his horrendous yet honest and poignant portrayal of a man who virtually loses everything to the bottle. The scene in the greenhouse is especially dramatic.

"Days of Wine and Roses" ranks right up there with "Lost Weekend," "Leaving Las Vegas" and "I'll Cry Tomorrow" as the most powerful cinematic portrayals of the destructiveness of alcoholism. Jack Lemmon gives one of his most honest and powerful performances as a man who lures his young bride into a life of alcohol induced pleasure and, ultimately, pain and suffering. Lee Remick is equally marvelous as his helpless wife who's own addiction proves more overwhelming than her husbands. A very personal and intimate film that will prove most unsettling to anyone who's known, first hand, the horrors brought on by alcohol abuse. Fantastic but, be warned, very depressing.
It will stay with you for days... August 20, 1999

This is the incredibly haunting and all-to-realistic tale of an alcoholic couple--it's candor as is seldom seen. Jack Lemmon gives an absolutely stunning dramatic performance filled with ferociousness and passion. I do believe that when it ended, my mouth remained agape and eyes wide for at least a minute. It reached me in ways that few movies have done.
