When so many people say a movie is worthwhile, you have to figure your own simplistically negative opinion isn't valuable. But I imagine there are a few others who always find alcoholics uninteresting and unsympathetic. When the subject is alcoholism itself, the film can be excellent -- The Lost Weekend and, to a lesser extent, Days of Wine and Roses. But to watch someone wander around in a stupor, sounding off drunkenly about this and that, and all of it with large pretensions...well, you can keep it. Good God man, your wife is Jacqueline Bisset. Isn't that enough to hold any man's interest!?
