| Welcome to Retroville! It's 1945! | ||||||||||||||||
| The Academy Award winning film for best picture was The Lost Weekend. A dramatic film-noir about a chronic alcoholic's four-day weekend bender. Don Birnam, long-time alcoholic, has been "on the wagon" for ten days and seems to be over the worst; but his craving has just become more insidious. Evading a country weekend planned by his brother Wick and girlfriend Helen, he begins a four-day bender. In flashbacks we see past events, all gone wrong because of the bottle. |
