Overworked adman and wife turn to alcohol in this gritty, pathos-ridden, downbeat drama that's still fresh today. Critically acclaimed film was praised for its performances. A must-see for drama lovers.

Our Take: This is a powerful tale about middle-class alcoholism. Very realistic imagery and totally relatable. Realistic direction and uncompromising writing combine for excellent results plus a poignant score by one of my favorite composers, Henry Mancini. Definately worth watching.
