Product Description

Synopsis
A married couple discover alcohol in varying degrees.

From the Back Cover
When Blake Edwards' powerful big-screen version of JP Miller's tender teleplay Days of Wine and Roses hit theatre screens 27 years ago, it won critical raves, triumphed at the box office - and showcases two unforgettable performances. In roles that earned them both Academy Award nominations, Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick portray a young couple caught in the trap of alcoholism with nothing to lean on by each other.

San Francisco public-relations hotshot Joe Clay (Lemmon) is a "social" drinker who never stops socialising. His pretty wife Kirsten (remick) starts drinking to keep him company. They live for the good times. But eventually the good times turn bad. And Joe eventually faces a heartbreaking choice.

After several popular comedy roles, two time Oscar winner Lemmon ventured into drama with gut-wrencing force as Joe, reflecting the range and depth he would bring to such later successes as Save The Tiger, The China Syndrome, Missing and Dad. Remick (Anatomy of a Murder, The Omen, TV's Jennie) is his perfect complement, moving effortlessly from the film's satiric opening scenes to its bitterwseet conclusion.

Days Of Wine and Roses was nominated for five Oscars and received one for its haunting Henry Mancini/Johnny Mercer title song. It endures as a harrowing, poignant portrait of human lives at their nadir. And moviemaking at its height.
