When Blake Edwards' powerful film of J.P. Miller's heartrending teleplay Days of Wines and Roses hit movie screens, it won critical raves, box-office success and shone brightly as a career highlight for its two Oscar-nominated stars, Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, playing a couple caught in alcoholism's web. A San Francisco public-relations hotspot 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.
Days of Wine and Roses earned a total Academy Award nominations and a Best Song Oscar for its haunting Henry Mancini / Johnny Mercer title tune. A poignant, harrowing portrait of human lives at their lowest, it also refelcts filmmaking at its height.
