'''''Days of Wine and Roses''''' marked another in a series of Hollywood classics on the touchy subject of alcoholism. Previous examples on the theme include ''[[The Lost Weekend]]'' and ''[[Come Back, Little Sheba]].'' Though his career prior to ''Days'' had been noted for a deft touch in light comedy, in this [[Academy Award]]-nominated performance, [[Jack Lemmon]] plays a hard-drinking San Francisco public-relations man who drags his wife [[Lee Remick]] into the horrific descent into alcoholism. Director [[Blake Edwards]] pulls no punches in this uncompromisingly bleak film. [[Henry Mancini]] composed the moving score, best remembered for the title song he and [[Johnny Mercer]] wrote, which won an Academy Award for best original song.

''[[{{PAGENAME}}]]'' was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2018.
