101 minute running time … Shmuel Vildr movie … Ray Milland plays a degenerate alcoholic … this movie won all kinds of awards and wide praise (at the time), but I wasn’t that interested in it … John Farr wrote that it’s about “a man so hysterically self-destructive that he sacrifices his dignity — and others' goodwill — to keep himself in a state of perpetual stupor,“ which is true, but it doesn’t mean it made a good movie. The typically hysterical score from Miklós Rózsa didn’t help things. Not a recommended movie, not on my Top 500 list.
