An excellent unjustly obscure film depicting alcoholism and thé rédemption from it. Richard Egan is marvelous and Arthur O'Connell, devastating. Julie London wrote the lovely thème song. Great Henry Mancini score. Gritty, hard-hitting film...
Freedom from the bondage of self was my "One Day at a Time" remedy for sobriety, which I found in A.A. 42 years ago .Freedom to turn my life over to a God of my understanding, to not judge or be judged,to be heard and seen,to want what i saw in sober drunks! To live a sober life heas been a gift from those early founders of A.A. who had the courage, strength and hope to pass on to all who had a desire to find sobriety! Thank you for sharing ❤
AA is not the final solution. It is a stepping stone. People I know who attend AA regularly fall into traps as bad as alcohol. AA is good but just a step towards the Light.
I really appreciate how at the end his first acknowledgment is to God, and I love the saying on the wall. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Richard Egan and Julie London were so good - as always.
Good film. She had such patience. But when your alcoholic partner gets violent, abusive and threatening it's very stressful to live with. I lived on a knife-edge for many years, never knowing when he was going to flip. He was a lovely guy when he wasn't drinking, but it didn't last. It was such a relief when he died at 54. At last I had the freedom to live my own life. Thanks for the movie, it brought back many memories, and now I am still so thankful that it came to an end, and I was free.
Yes people that have not lived it can’t understand it really sucks a nightmare she was so abusive it was like talking to a rock arrogant rude and she was never drunk it was always two beers when I was really a bottle of rum or vodka. I am glad you are free to live your life and enjoy all life has to give.

I have known a couple of alcoholics including my brother. They stopped drinking after proper medical treatment. BTW, they are atheists. God has nothing to do with anything.
I have a friend who swears it was this film and not Days of Wine and Roses nor The Lost Weekend which made him seek help and finally stop drinking. Perhaps it was the message of hope in the end of the film which did the trick.
If we could just get that message across to kids, who still think it's cool. Reformed alcoholics should speak at schools and tell them that they wish to heaven that they hadn't taken that first drink, smoke, etcetera.
don't remember this one, many of my favorite actors... SCARY! alcoholism can be just as destructive as any street drug, mainly because it seems more socially acceptable. ( denial ) Excellent portrayal by Egan...
I knew about the other major films from that era that dealt with alcoholism(The Lost Weekend, & Days of Wine and Roses- both masterpieces of the genre), but never knew about this one…
Alcoholics (or addicts) can skillfully deflect & escape accountability & responsibility for the consequences of their behavior, often becoming pitied 'victims' of their own recklessness🙏🕊️🌿 Excellent movie

My humble observation. We had alcoholics and heroin junkies when I grew up. Now there are very few alcoholics. Used to see them literally living under bridges in parks drinking wine etc a lot. Have we cured alcoholism as it seems to have dissapeared? No not at all. I think a lot of ppl have addictive personalities. Now it's phentanol, ice, cochineal name a drug any drug.

I don't think alcoholism's gone away at all, if anything it's probably worse with more old people drinking themselves to death. My addiction is the pursuit of money but my luck stinks and making it big is always just out of reach.

I buried my beloved Mother at 59 from alcoholism. There aren't many alcohol - recovery movies out there that ring true to me - The Days of Wine and Roses is one, this is another. AA saved my life... I didn't know how to live. My parents didn't get a toolbox for life, so I didn't get one either. I wouldn't be angry with someone for not knowing how to do something, I had no idea how to have a good life. Now I do 🙏
Why can some drink only on weekends and special occasions, some must drink all the time and some can't drink at all? I enjoy drinking but I can do without it as needed.
Genetics. A defect that causes reduction in an enzyme that converts ethyl alcohol to ethyl aldehyde. So the alcohol builds up in the blood, but you get little buzz. A bad outcome.
My stepfather got drunk every Friday night to Sun afternoon without fail the entire time I lived at home until I left at 18. He & my mother would yell & argue at the top of their voices. I was the 2nd oldest of 7 with my older sister and me not being his. He never let us forget this fact although my mother tried to make up for it but he was a mean drunk so my sister & I were glad he wasn't our father. But Monday-Friday he was sober and never missed a day of work in 30 yrs to the point he had boatloads of leave when he retired as a meat cutter. He also drove drunk at times but was never in an accident but came close and so did all of us who were in the car! Funny thing is me & my siblings don't drink (my mother also didn't drink) but all of us ended up in relationships with alcoholics or drug users but none of us stuck it out like my mother did. We all tried to help. When it was over -it was over. With the exception of my younger sister's husband. He joined our church as she was still attending and ended up going into the Ministry. He's now a Rev Dr. My mother left my stepfather after my youngest brother went into high school. Yrs later he did stop drinking. He got terminal cancer & asked if he could move back home he didn't want to go to hospice & my brother wanted to take care of him. My mother said yes and they got along and he lived about 7 yrs & passed in 2000. My mother who got ill & I took care of her as she also didn't want hospice, passed in 2006. I know she thought better to have help raising the kids but except for my brothers who he treated special ,the rest of us had awful memories because of his drinking. He got drunk every holiday. Every special occasion. Anytime we had someone special over. To this day I can't stand to hear people argue. I can't put up with someone not doing something about any kind of abuse. I think that's why I never married and 3 of my siblings didn't either.
Because some are more responsible and less physically dependent, it's how you prioritize, you are wise to put your health before the booze, however we need to address our spiritual condition, our thoughts and intent, I have met many people that drink socially and those who don't drink at all I still saw and heard the same gripe of discontentment reinforced with bitterness and resentment, there are many reasons why people drink, to indulge the temptation comes from the same place, it's not a sin to drink, however if you have no self control then it is better that you do without it
@@ber334 Yes. I know we had good family & friends and the fact that we were a church going family because of my mother. My fathers 2 brothers & 2 sisters did not drink but 1 other sister did like him.His brothers were devoted family men and looked out for us to make sure we had food clothes and presents at Christmas as my mother did not work and my father saw no need to provide more than the bare basics. My mother did go back to school, learned how to drive bought a car and we began to go on vacations, we got what we asked for for Christmas, We visited on holidays. She was the reason we tried to see past the drinking and help the ones we married or lived with. We learned what everyone does. The alcoholic has seek help and stick with getting & staying sober. Yes my stepfather became a better person and did help with money and stuff for everyone in his later years. He also called my mother when he found out he was terminal and paid for both of their final arrangements, plots etc. For all those dealing with alcoholism make sure to seek help for yourself if you need to talk or get therapy. I didn't but helps to post in forums like this and I think about everyone that also posts. May God watch over us all as we watch over our brothers & sisters in Christ.

An unusually frank dramatization of a once taboo subject treated with care and without judgmentalism or histrionics. Can't help but wonder how many lives this film and 1962's 'Days of Wine snd Roses' might have saved.

I come from a very dysfunctional family. Your comment hit home. My Mother died of Liver cancer though she wasnt a drinker. Mum smoked like a chimney but never got lung cancer. I smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish. I will probably die from Nuclear Fallout but am enjoying the ride, kind of.

The wife became his typical enabler and Codependent. Played very convincingly in her portrayal. It became recognized in the 1970's that Alcoholism affects the whole Family. Even the Children take on their own roles if one or both Parents are Alcoholics or Substance abusers? This is when Alanon meetings and support groups were made available for Codependents and Children of Alcoholics. Codependents do more harm to an Alcoholic trying to live with Sobriety? I've seen classic examples where Codependets will lie for their Partners, make excuses for them, cover for them, hide the facts and be in denial even at the expense of others including their own Children? They don't actually help the one with the sickness? In fact in most cases they don't hold them accountable for their own actions? Nor do they help the Alcoholic get well? It changes their life and interrupts what's "normal" in their routine? In fact, some are so used to playing out the victim role when in fact they actually have alot of control while their Partner is not Sober or using? If that changes, and their Partner Sobers up there's that threat they may get left behind, or seen for their own weaknesses and illness?

I have known women who were afraid of their alcoholic husbands. They were terrified that they would be beaten if they did not lie and cover up for him. Not all alcoholics get violent, but some have their spouses living in a state of terror.
The "monkey" on every person's back is guilt. The first step is to understand that only way to remove the guilt is to trust what has already been done for everyone. The Creator of the world has paid for everyone's sins by His complete atonement for All. Everyone's sins are already paid for because Jesus took the curse of sin upon Himself by His death, burial and resurrection. Anyone who trusts what Jesus has already done receives eternal life with Jesus. Believe that you are already forgiven. Trust that Jesus has paid for ALL of your sins by HIS death, burial and resurrection.
I had trouble with that part for a while. Thank God I found Jesus and received his gift of love. Now I just have to work on a few more things like anger management.
His death paid for our sin. His resurrection gives us His Life, we are a new creation. We were spiritually dead because of Adam, now we have received His Life, eternal life. We rest in his finished work on the cross.
I just didn't enjoy this film despite the fine cast. Sequences were repetitive. Dipsomania is a curable disease if the patient has enough will power to overcome it. The two best films i have seen on this disturbing subject were: The days of wine and roses with sterling performances by Jack Lemon and Lee Remick. Lemon, known for his comedic talents, plays against type here and surprises everyone with an Academy Award performance. When he joins AI and is sent to rehab, the sequences depicting his denial [of alcohol] will leave viewers shaken up with a vow never to touch alcohol. Then there's Susan Hayward's magnificent performance in 'I'll cry tomorrow' replete with trembling hands and shakes guaranteed to send shivers down your spine. Susan pulls off her multiple facets flawlessly going from famous singer to falling in love and losing her love to cancer. She then starts using alcohol as a clutch to camouflage her deep insecurities. . This was certainly a masterpiece in acting and Susan should have won the Oscar. Instead, she won the Oscar for I want to live.
"I'll Cry Tomorrow," is one very good movie. Susan Hayward plays her part so intensely accurate in that movie....once you've seen that movie it leaves a lasting impression not easily forgotten...
No appreciation for the wife everything that she put up with very typical of anyone with a drug or alcohol problem they don't matter to the alcoholic and a drug addict because they're so self-centered. We suffered just as much as they do.

If this had starred Gregory Peck rather than Richard Egan, it’d have been a hit. Julie London is wonderful as usual. Edit: RE is just too weak for this part, lacks the passion and finesse Peck would have put into it. Great supporting actors. Good movie about the beginnings of an organization that has saved so many people and families.
I just came across this film. I'm a fan of Gregory Peck and I also enjoyed the entire cast. Are you wrong about Richard Egan? I think one could forget him as the one who played the lead. Not just in this but anything. He's just ok. I have 3 films on the subject that are really good. Of course,, "Days of Wine & Roses" starring Jack Lemmon & Lee Remick. "I'll Cry Tomorrow" starring Susan Hayward in the biography of singer Lillian Roth whose career was ruined by alcohol and a very old film "The Wet Parade " (1932) A pre-Code drama film starring Robert Young, Myrna Loy, Walter Huston, Lewis Stone. The film shows how two families (one in the old South, the other in the North) are devastated by the effects of alcohol consumption and Prohibition. In both films the patriarch is the alcoholic who ruins the family with tragedies that forever change both families. I didn't include "The Lost Weekend" as it never touched me as the others did. I do recall the made-for-tv-drama "My Name is Bill W." (1989) too but I not as much as the others.
I agree with the comments about Gregory Peck. No one could hold a candle 🕯 to him. The song 🎶 by Dolly Parton, Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle 🕯 to You. No one could light up a room like you do. Flickering Flames 🔥 of desire I’ve known quite a few, but old flames 🔥 can’t hold a candle 🕯 to you. The saddest picture in my mind is the way that Gregory Peck had as he watched Audrey Hepburn leave him to return to the palace as the princess 👑 in the movie 🍿 Roman Holiday. 👑👑👑👑👑😢😢😢😢
RE did a great job of moving in and out of drunken stupors. His subtle acceptability when sober shows how easy it was to pull unsuspecting people into his trap of insane drunkenness without the other person knowing what they got pulled into.
AA is a fraud. It has no better results than people who just decide to stop by themselves. AA exists to sell god, not to help sick superstitious people.
I admired Julie London but stories about people struggling with alcoholism are almost always boring and almost always the same story. I started scrolling forward through the film to see if I could find the point. Voice in the Mirror, doesn't fit my notion of the noir genre.
Ava 🐻 has been very sour lately. She’s been on a total bender of her own. She keeps saying she wants to get back on the wagon. But we’re worried about that old Spanish proverb… “Cuando el horno esta abierto, ten cuidado no quemar el pan…” 🍑 🥰

WE HURT OURSELVES MORE THAN ANYBODY. YOU NEED TO DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT ADDICTION AND ALCOHOLISM. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.
Actually, Montanagal6958 is right. The men who started AA made the *choice* to admit they had a problem, they *chose* to become accountable, and they *chose* to stop drinking. A disease afflicts a person apart from personal choices. So, in strictly semantic terms, alcoholism and drug abuse don't qualify as diseases.
@higgsmerino3925 I've watched my entire family die miserably from alcoholism - the most order there ever was in my family is the cemetery. I have a hard time not taking your comment personally - I found this movie plausible, logical, and so true to my familys' experience it made me sweat. There are only three of us left alive from a clan, I'm in recovery, and the only one left to watch them die.
People like to credit 'god' with the alcoholics salvation but that doesn't explain those like myself who achieved sobriety without any religious mumbo jumbo. This movie doesn't lean too heavily on the religious aspect but more on the individuals within the group looking out for each other and taking it one day at a time and not condemning those that slip along the way. My one day at a time has carried me to over twenty-five years of sobriety!
Did it ever occur to you that God worked a miracle for you in spite of you taking all the credit for yourself? - hilarious - God wants what's best for you in spite of your attitude
Jim Burton has become a chronic alcoholic since the death of his young daughter, and is cared for by his hard-working wife. A doctor's warning that Jim could become mentally ill strikes enough fear into him that he really wants to cure himself, but he can't. One night, he meets William Tobin, a fellow drunk, and finds that he helps himself by trying to help Tobin. Thus is born, amid setbacks, a group resembling Alcoholics Anonymous.
The men depicted here began a miracle that I desperately needed 25 years ago. I wouldn't be here without those efforts. Love you so Bill W. and Dr. Bob!
Congratulations to you. God bless you.
Been through the twelve steps myself.
These 2 helped more than they could've ever known.
Hope they are smiling down watching all of us recovering addicts and alcoholics.

Alcoholics (or addicts) can skillfully deflect & escape accountability & responsibility for the consequences of their behavior, often becoming pitied 'victims' of their own recklessness🙏🕊️🌿 Excellent movie

for a melodrama made over 60 years ago, it still hits some raw nerves ....
I love Julie London so I decided to binge watch movies she stars in
Watch "The Lost Weekend," a 1945 movie about alcohol addiction. That one won a few Oscars, I believe.
much better film
Your right Ray-Miland--won an Oscar,--great Movie !!
My humble observation. We had alcoholics and heroin junkies when I grew up.
Now there are very few alcoholics. Used to see them literally living under bridges in parks drinking wine etc a lot.
Have we cured alcoholism as it seems to have dissapeared?
No not at all.
I think a lot of ppl have addictive personalities.
Now it's phentanol, ice, cochineal name a drug any drug.
No, now they're just men who fought for our country who've been pushed aside by Joe's new visitors.

I don't think alcoholism's gone away at all, if anything it's probably worse with more old people drinking themselves to death. My addiction is the pursuit of money but my luck stinks and making it big is always just out of reach.
@@philfletcher3434hang in there, my friend, and I was touched by your admission. You'll be in my thoughts and, yes, my prayers. I hope you reach your dreams, you seem to me to be one who deserves them. 😊
The running theme is the alcoholics' first move is to blame other people for their missteps. Sometimes, their codependent will do it for them.
Excellent !!!!
Glad you like it!
Dated a drunk, lived with a drunk, nursed a drunk back from a widow maker heart attack, almost married a drunk, buried a drunk and miss a drunk every single day.....
All the same man 😢
Your a REAL good woman.
Not a bad movie. AA started in 1935 and they never mentioned AA in this movie so I guess it was some fictionalized version of how it started.
It is based on a true story. The names were changed.
It might be based on Bill Williams (I think that’s his name) who starred AA. Pretty sure there is a documentary on TH-cam.
Superbe ❤❤❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Good movie. I enjoyed it! Very sad situation.
A fine story of overcoming the things that beset each of us. So, so important.
Its a mental and physical addiction
Also spiritual
One tiny drop thats it
Something happens to the brain
One is too many and a thousand is not enough
It’s called spirits for a reason ’
Actually the birth of AA was founded in Akron, Ohio on June 10, 1935 by Bill W., Bob Smith. In 2020 AA estimated its world wide membership to be over 2 million with 75% coming from the U.S and Canada. Follow your dreams men and women. Mesa,, AZ June 11, 2023

I buried my beloved Mother at 59 from alcoholism. There aren't many alcohol - recovery movies out there that ring true to me - The Days of Wine and Roses is one, this is another. AA saved my life... I didn't know how to live. My parents didn't get a toolbox for life, so I didn't get one either. I wouldn't be angry with someone for not knowing how to do something, I had no idea how to have a good life. Now I do 🙏
Yeah, this is a reasonable facsimile of their story, probably didn't have the ©'s, although I believe that there was an official movie made, but I can't remember the name of it, off hand.
Why can some drink only on weekends and special occasions, some must drink all the time and some can't drink at all? I enjoy drinking but I can do without it as needed.
Genetics. A defect that causes reduction in an enzyme that converts ethyl alcohol to ethyl aldehyde. So the alcohol builds up in the blood, but you get little buzz. A bad outcome.
My stepfather got drunk every Friday night to Sun afternoon without fail the entire time I lived at home until I left at 18. He & my mother would yell & argue at the top of their voices. I was the 2nd oldest of 7 with my older sister and me not being his. He never let us forget this fact although my mother tried to make up for it but he was a mean drunk so my sister & I were glad he wasn't our father. But Monday-Friday he was sober and never missed a day of work in 30 yrs to the point he had boatloads of leave when he retired as a meat cutter. He also drove drunk at times but was never in an accident but came close and so did all of us who were in the car! Funny thing is me & my siblings don't drink (my mother also didn't drink) but all of us ended up in relationships with alcoholics or drug users but none of us stuck it out like my mother did. We all tried to help. When it was over -it was over. With the exception of my younger sister's husband. He joined our church as she was still attending and ended up going into the Ministry. He's now a Rev Dr. My mother left my stepfather after my youngest brother went into high school. Yrs later he did stop drinking. He got terminal cancer & asked if he could move back home he didn't want to go to hospice & my brother wanted to take care of him. My mother said yes and they got along and he lived about 7 yrs & passed in 2000. My mother who got ill & I took care of her as she also didn't want hospice, passed in 2006. I know she thought better to have help raising the kids but except for my brothers who he treated special ,the rest of us had awful memories because of his drinking. He got drunk every holiday. Every special occasion. Anytime we had
someone special over. To this day I can't stand to hear people argue. I can't put up with someone not doing something about any kind of abuse. I think that's why I never married and 3 of my siblings didn't either.
Because some are more responsible and less physically dependent, it's how you prioritize, you are wise to put your health before the booze, however we need to address our spiritual condition, our thoughts and intent, I have met many people that drink socially and those who don't drink at all I still saw and heard the same gripe of discontentment reinforced with bitterness and resentment, there are many reasons why people drink, to indulge the temptation comes from the same place, it's not a sin to drink, however if you have no self control then it is better that you do without it
You're lucky. Some are sicker than others
@@ber334 Yes. I know we had good family & friends and the fact that we were a church going family because of my mother. My fathers 2 brothers
& 2 sisters did not drink but 1 other sister did like him.His brothers were devoted family men and looked out for us to make sure we had food clothes and presents at Christmas as my mother did not work and my father saw no need to provide more than the bare basics. My mother did go back to school, learned how to drive bought a car and we began to go on vacations, we got what we asked for for Christmas, We visited on holidays. She was the reason we tried to see past the drinking and help the ones we married or lived with. We learned what everyone does. The alcoholic has seek help and stick with getting & staying sober. Yes my stepfather became a better person and did help with money and stuff for everyone in his later years. He also called my mother when he found out he was terminal and paid for both of their final arrangements, plots etc.
For all those dealing with alcoholism make sure to seek help for yourself if you need to talk or get therapy. I didn't but helps to post in forums like this and I think about everyone that also posts. May God watch over us all as we watch over our brothers & sisters in Christ.
I recognized Richard Egan from 'The Revolt of Mamie Stover 1956' and 'Wicked Woman 1953'
Yes, from 'Wicked Woman', a gem of its kind.

Released August 13th,1958
An unusually frank dramatization of a once taboo subject treated with care and without judgmentalism or histrionics. Can't help but wonder how many lives this film and 1962's 'Days of Wine snd Roses' might have saved.

My sister had 7 years sobriety behind her when she died of lung cancer. She had been a chain smoker every since she was 13 years old. 🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬😢😢😢😢😢
I come from a very dysfunctional family. Your comment hit home. My Mother died of Liver cancer though she wasnt a drinker. Mum smoked like a chimney but never got lung cancer. I smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish. I will probably die from Nuclear Fallout but am enjoying the ride, kind of.
I AM AN EX SMOKER, NEVER A CHAIN SMOKER, I GAVE UP SMOKING OVER 30 YEARS AGO. ANY KIND OF SMOKE IS VERY DEADLY ITS POISONOUS ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS SECOND HAND SMOKE FROM SOMEONE ELSE. FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS IVE BEEN FORCED TO BREATHE IN WOOD FIRE SMOKE FROM NEIGHBOURS FILTHY CHIMNEY SMOKE WHICH SEEPS INSIDE MY HOME AND CAUSING MY HEALTH TO GET WORSE.
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SISTER.
I HOPE ONE DAY SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE TOBACCO AND WOOD FIRE HEATERS ARE BANNED EVERYWHERE.
IN NEW ZEALAND THEY HAVE A GOOD PLAN AHEAD NOT TO ALLOW CHILDREN OF A CERTAIN AGE NOT ALLOWED TO BUY ANY KIND OF CIGS OR TOBACCO AND IN TIME NO ONE WILL BE SMOKING IN THAT COUNTRY.

The wife became his typical enabler and Codependent. Played very convincingly in her portrayal.
It became recognized in the 1970's that Alcoholism affects the whole Family.
Even the Children take on their own roles if one or both Parents are Alcoholics or Substance abusers?
This is when Alanon meetings and support groups were made available for Codependents and Children of Alcoholics.
Codependents do more harm to an Alcoholic trying to live with Sobriety?
I've seen classic examples where Codependets will lie for their Partners, make excuses for them, cover for them, hide the facts and be in denial even at the expense of others including their own Children?
They don't actually help the one with the sickness? In fact in most cases they don't hold them accountable for their own actions? Nor do they help the Alcoholic get well?
It changes their life and interrupts what's "normal" in their routine?
In fact, some are so used to playing out the victim role when in fact they actually have alot of control while their Partner is not Sober or using?
If that changes, and their Partner Sobers up there's that threat they may get left behind, or seen for their own weaknesses and illness?
You cannot make an alcoholic stop
What's up with all the question marks?
You sound to be a counselor yourself!

I have known women who were afraid of their alcoholic husbands. They were terrified that they would be beaten if they did not lie and cover up for him. Not all alcoholics get violent, but some have their spouses living in a state of terror.
The "monkey" on every person's back is guilt. The first step is to understand that only way to remove the guilt is to trust what has already been done for everyone. The Creator of the world has paid for everyone's sins by His complete atonement for All. Everyone's sins are already paid for because Jesus took the curse of sin upon Himself by His death, burial and resurrection. Anyone who trusts what Jesus has already done receives eternal life with Jesus. Believe that you are already forgiven. Trust that Jesus has paid for ALL of your sins by HIS death, burial and resurrection.
I had trouble with that part for a while.
Thank God I found Jesus and received his gift of love.
Now I just have to work on a few more things like anger management.
His death paid for our sin. His resurrection gives us His Life, we are a new creation. We were spiritually dead because of Adam, now we have received His Life, eternal life. We rest in his finished work on the cross.

Yep!!!!!
A "piece of ice for their icebox," as late as 1958! Guess his disability really caused them to rough it.
I just didn't enjoy this film despite the fine cast. Sequences were repetitive. Dipsomania is a curable disease if the patient has enough will power to overcome it. The two best films i have seen on this disturbing subject were: The days of wine and roses with sterling performances by Jack Lemon and Lee Remick. Lemon, known for his comedic talents, plays against type here and surprises everyone with an Academy Award performance. When he joins AI and is sent to rehab, the sequences depicting his denial [of alcohol] will leave viewers shaken up with a vow never to touch alcohol. Then there's Susan Hayward's magnificent performance in 'I'll cry tomorrow' replete with trembling hands and shakes guaranteed to send shivers down your spine. Susan pulls off her multiple facets flawlessly going from famous singer to falling in love and losing her love to cancer. She then starts using alcohol as a clutch to camouflage her deep insecurities. . This was certainly a masterpiece in acting and Susan should have won the Oscar. Instead, she won the Oscar for I want to live.
One of my favorites, "Days of Wine and Roses." Superb acting by Lemon.
"I'll Cry Tomorrow," is one very good movie. Susan Hayward plays her part so intensely accurate in that movie....once you've seen that movie it leaves a lasting impression not easily forgotten...
Susan Hayward played Lilian Roth, the 1920’s singer. She gave a magnificent performance.
No appreciation for the wife everything that she put up with very typical of anyone with a drug or alcohol problem they don't matter to the alcoholic and a drug addict because they're so self-centered. We suffered just as much as they do.
“Jazz hands” is a term coined for alcoholic hand tremors
She was a good, patient woman but then, loitering and public drunkeness were unacceptable. Now, drug addicts are allowed to loiter, rob, ... .
That is not fair blaming her for one incident after all she put up with having to live with you for years???😡😡😡
She was doing the best she could. Spouses of alcoholics go through a lot of Hell.

You're right, the only place I can think of that has more coffee references is where I live, Srattle. What a great job noticing things!
Coffee ☕ is an indispensable component of a typical AA meeting. Copious amounts!
If this had starred Gregory Peck rather than Richard Egan, it’d have been a hit. Julie London is wonderful as usual. Edit: RE is just too weak for this part, lacks the passion and finesse Peck would have put into it. Great supporting actors. Good movie about the beginnings of an organization that has saved so many people and families.
I didnt know, it was beginning of AA
UNTIL I kept watching movie
I just came across this film. I'm a fan of Gregory Peck and I also enjoyed the entire cast. Are you wrong about Richard Egan? I think one could forget him as the one who played the lead. Not just in this but anything. He's just ok. I have
3 films on the subject that are really good.
Of course,, "Days of Wine & Roses" starring Jack Lemmon & Lee Remick.
"I'll Cry Tomorrow" starring Susan Hayward in the biography of singer Lillian Roth whose career was ruined by alcohol and a very old film "The Wet Parade " (1932) A pre-Code drama film starring Robert Young, Myrna Loy, Walter Huston, Lewis Stone. The film shows how two families (one in the old South, the other in the North) are devastated by the effects of alcohol consumption and Prohibition. In both films the patriarch is the alcoholic who ruins the family with tragedies that forever change both families.
I didn't include "The Lost Weekend" as it never touched me as the others did. I do recall the made-for-tv-drama "My Name is Bill W." (1989) too but I not as much as the others.
I agree with the comments about Gregory Peck. No one could hold a candle 🕯 to him. The song 🎶 by Dolly Parton, Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle 🕯 to You. No one could light up a room like you do. Flickering Flames 🔥 of desire I’ve known quite a few, but old flames 🔥 can’t hold a candle 🕯 to you. The saddest picture in my mind is the way that Gregory Peck had as he watched Audrey Hepburn leave him to return to the palace as the princess 👑 in the movie 🍿 Roman Holiday. 👑👑👑👑👑😢😢😢😢
Spot on. Gregory would have been perfect.
RE did a great job of moving in and out of drunken stupors. His subtle acceptability when sober shows how easy it was to pull unsuspecting people into his trap of insane drunkenness without the other person knowing what they got pulled into.
Has to be one of the worst opening songs ever.
The whole AA healing is based on Christianity: the programme is God based:
I suppose there is no great teacher for all healing!! The Goodness of God.
AA is a fraud. It has no better results than people who just decide to stop by themselves. AA exists to sell god, not to help sick superstitious people.
I'm twenty-five years sober and didn't need anyone's fake god to achieve it!
Whatever works. But I know God doesn't work for everyone.
@@andywinger4197 Actually, HE does.

Who transcribed this? It is so blurred you can hardly see it. They should be ashamed of themselves. Well, let's have a name.
I admired Julie London but stories about people struggling with alcoholism are almost always boring and almost always the same story. I started scrolling forward through the film to see if I could find the point. Voice in the Mirror, doesn't fit my notion of the noir genre.
Less likely to bore those of us who either have struggled with the problem or watched someone they love struggle with it.
Just out of focus enough that I can't possibly watch it. Dang.

YOUR CHOICE CAN BE OVERRIDDEN W/ADDICTION.
You have all the answers, may I worship you?
Actually, Montanagal6958 is right. The men who started AA made the *choice* to admit they had a problem, they *chose* to become accountable, and they *chose* to stop drinking. A disease afflicts a person apart from personal choices. So, in strictly semantic terms, alcoholism and drug abuse don't qualify as diseases.

@higgsmerino3925
I've watched my entire family die miserably from alcoholism - the most order there ever was in my family is the cemetery. I have a hard time not taking your comment personally - I found this movie plausible, logical, and so true to my familys' experience it made me sweat. There are only three of us left alive from a clan, I'm in recovery, and the only one left to watch them die.
I, too, think they did a pretty good job at portraying the problem and the solution that AA provides to millions around the world. 😊
Interesting
People like to credit 'god' with the alcoholics salvation but that doesn't explain those like myself who achieved sobriety without any religious mumbo jumbo. This movie doesn't lean too heavily on the religious aspect but more on the individuals within the group looking out for each other and taking it one day at a time and not condemning those that slip along the way. My one day at a time has carried me to over twenty-five years of sobriety!
Congratulations, never drank but it has got to one of the hardest things to do.

Jim Burton has become a chronic alcoholic since the death of his young daughter, and is cared for by his hard-working wife. A doctor's warning that Jim could become mentally ill strikes enough fear into him that he really wants to cure himself, but he can't. One night, he meets William Tobin, a fellow drunk, and finds that he helps himself by trying to help Tobin. Thus is born, amid setbacks, a group resembling Alcoholics Anonymous.
