The Lost Weekend (1945) - 2 stars

Plot summary: Alcoholic ruins his life and the life of those around him.

Starring: Ray Milland, Jane Wyman

Best of: I suppose its message was particularly needed post WW2. Some interesting camera work.

Worst of: Extraordinarily overdramatic. Resembled an after school special more often than not.

I would have like it better if: I wasn't kind of rooting for the lead character's suicide.
