Days of Wine and Roses (1962) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #DaysofWineandRoses

When Blake Edwards' powerful film of J.P. Miller's heartrending teleplay Days of Wine and Roses hit movie screens, it won critical raves, box-office success and shone brightly as a career highlight for its two stars, Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, playing a couple caught in alcoholism's web. A San Francisco public-relations hotshot is a "social" drinker...who never stops socializing. His vivacious wife starts drinking to keep him company. They live for good times. But eventually good times turn bad.

Directed By Blake Edwards
Starring Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick, Charles Bickford

still the best depiction of alcoholism ever filmed

These old films are incredible to watch. The actors, songwriters and scripts had amazing talent within them.

[jamesmmcgill]

This movie is one of my favorites. I remember watched this movie with Kim...

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth " 🖤

[edkeaton]

Such a beautiful song to a very downbeat, and tragic movie. Great film nonetheless thanks to the performances of both Jack Lemmon and the very beautiful Lee Remick.

I am so lucky to have lived back then.

Beautifully melancholic song that perfectly captures the essence of a relationship not meant to be ("towards a closing door, a door marked 'nevermore' that wasn't there before"). I hate it when jazzed-up renditions make it sultry and romantic in the wrong way.

Like fine wine, (no pun intended), this movie and Henry Mancini's classic song stand the test of time and age gracefully. Both Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick give stellar performances and director Blake Edwards remarkable direction make this a very poignant and effective drama. Hard to believe that the film will be 60 years old this year. ❤️🍾🍷🌹🌹

One of my favorite movies and such a beautiful song. My elderly father told me this was him and my mothers song.

[noellewestfield]

Just a passing breeze filled with memories. Wow. What a sad and beautiful song.

[reginajennings]

This was our song..and always will be, Buddy.

[joelhoulette]

My favorite version of this song. To me it has that 1960s sound that I love. I know the movie is very serious but this song is beautiful.

[leebradley]

Love this movie but at 63 my nerves are not good enough get thru the movie. But I keep watching!

wiping the may need to be in recovery to get

[alstewart]

Mancini knew how to use the seldom heard chords which show his mastery of harmony for tension and beauty.

[edkeaton]

Very ironic tagline: "This movie in its' own terrifying way, IS a love story." I get it now.

[boomerang]

This song takes you into a realism that's powerful. "A door locked never more that was not there before..." Sad and poignant. ❤😢

[jjp]

Anything Henry Mancini composes is gold. This and among my many favorites the love theme to The Thorn Birds.

As a "younger" film fan of only 56, the first thing that pops into my head on reading the plot summary is Leaving Las Vegas.

[markdensel]

The first time I saw this movie was in high school in the 70s (scare tactic). I thought it was dark, romantic, and wonderful and have since thought about it for 40 years.
