Lost Weekend

Don Birnam, long-time alcoholic, has been "on the wagon" for ten days and seems to be over the worst; but his craving has just become more insidious. Evading a country weekend planned by his brother Wick and girlfriend Helen, he begins a four-day bender. In flashbacks we see past events, all gone wrong because of the bottle. But this bout looks like being his last...one way or the other. ??Rod Crawford Awards: 16 wins & 3 nominations totalBudget: $1,250,000 (estimated)Soundtrack: La Traviata ((1853) (uncredited))Billy WilderRay Milland, Jane Wyman, Phillip Terry (United States)tt0037884
