The Lost Weekend
The screen dares to open the strange and savage pages of a shocking bestseller!
Longtime alcoholic Don Birnam has been sober for ten days and appears to be over the worst... but his craving has just become more insidious. Evading a country weekend planned by his brother and girlfriend, he begins a four-day bender that just might be his last – one way or another.
Directed by Billy Wilder · Written by Charles Brackett
