A drama directed by Billy Wilder, based on a book by Charles R. Jackson.
A man who likes rye whiskey too much skips a weekend in the country with his brother so he can drink. He does not have as much fun as he had planned.
This is one of those alcohol demonization movies that show horrible things happening to booze hounds. Some of it (like the fake bat on a clearly visible string) was funny, some of it (like the typewriter walk) was sad. The character in the movie does horrible things that normal people with a little common sense wouldn't dream of. I'm rating it poor because it's a little far fetched and I've been giving too many good reviews here.
