A painfully sincere and uncompromising look at alcoholism from 1945
Synopsis
Don Birnam is a struggling writer who is only adept at finishing off bottles of liquor. Even the protestations of his girlfriend, Helen, and brother Wick’s efforts are not enough to stop the writer’s descent into a black hole of alcoholic despair from which he may never return.
The psychiatric study of an alcoholic - intense, morbid and absolutely thrilling
