Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Days of Wine and Roses is a 1962 American romantic drama film directed by Blake Edwards with a screenplay by JP Miller adapted from his own 1958 Playhouse 90 teleplay of the same name. The film was produced by Martin Manulis in co-operation with Lemmon's Jalem Productions (the first for his independent film production company), with music by Henry Mancini, and stars Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, with supporting roles by Charles Bickford and Jack Klugman. The film depicts the downward spiral of two average Americans who succumb to alcoholism and their repeated attempts to deal with their problems. An Academy Award went to the film's theme music, composed by Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The film received four other Oscar nominations, including Best Actor and Best Actress. In 2018, Days of Wine and Roses was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
