QuickView
Story-line: Joe Clay, a PR man, meets (and insults) a pretty lady named Kirsten Arneson. As luck would have it, they soon fall for each other… but their love comes with a strong smell of alcohol.
Pluses: fine acting, a mature script.
Minuses: none really.
Comments: over the years, Hollywood has produced several films about alcoholism and this one is particularly vivid. A strong directorial turn for Blake Edwards, whose career not only included Pink Panther movies but also heftier entries like this one and BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S.
