Days of Wine and Roses (Warner 1962, Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick)

Published

on


Biting drama about a young couple’s struggle with alcoholism. Edwards gives Lemmon plenty of room–the production is more naturalistic than the original teleplay–and he makes the best of it. Excellent score by Mancini, and the title song became a hit. The Playhouse 90 teleplay was directed by John Frankenheimer and starred Cliff Robertson and Piper Laurie.

Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, who so memorably costarred here reunited 18 years later for the 1980 film Tribute, in which Lemmon plays a terminally ill Broadway press agent and Remick appears as his ex-wife.

Academy Award Nominations: 5, including Best Actor: Jack Lemmon; Best Actress: Lee Remick, Jack Albertson, Charles Bickford, Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick
