Where to Watch The Lost Weekend
- Ricardo Arnaz CPA, ACCA USN-retired16 maart 2026The Granddad of all addictions movies ever made. Milland was superb. After the cheesy stage/over dramatic acting which was norm up to early 50's Wilder hits addiction to a T. Hiding substance, lies, freaking out over not able to get a fix, the DT's. Who talked about DT's in 1945. My great uncle quit drinking because of this. He started seeing himself he said. No "Days of Wine & Roses", "Leaving Las Vegas", or "Requiem for a Dream." Last one is a dead hit but that was 55 years later.
- Peter Bickford2 april 2026This Billy Wilder written movie was no doubt groundbreaking in its time, and the actors work hard to sell the tale. But there's no denying it hasn't aged particularly well, seeming sometimes like an overwrought Afternoon School Special rather than the timeless classic its reputation suggests.
