Days of Wine and Roses


 Jack Lemmon and dir. Blake Edwards were both alcoholics at the time of “Days of Wine and Roses” and admitted to tremendous binge drinking throughout the filming of this movie.

Then Edwards stopped drinking for the remainder of his life and Jack Lemmon combated his own alcoholism.
Chris Lemmon, his son, said he had a loving relationship with his father.
“He had a final night where it got out of control with broken glass all over the floor. He’d fallen down, hit his head, cut it open, had a bloody dish towel hanging off the side of his head and finally the maid couldn’t take it.”
She called me and said, ‘You need to come over and talk to your father.’ When I got there, I didn’t need to say a word. He said, ‘I know.’ That was it.
He never had a drink after that.”
With the amazing and gorgeous Lee Remick (1962)
