Sandra and Luis meet in an airport on their way to New York. Both of them are about to embark on a life full of dreams and promise. "Together even in Paradise!", they are shouting only a few days later. It could have been like that, but something stronger than love came between them. This is the story of two people loving each other and destroying each other in a desperate attempt to give up alcohol and go back to being who they once were.
“Days of wine and roses is considered by many to be the best film ever made about alcoholism. I fully agree, but I would add that it is one of the best love films in the history of cinema. A tragic love between two utterly miserable beings who, together, even if for a very short period of time, find the happiness they have always wished for. Their surrender to alcohol draws them away, perhaps forever, from their dreams, but especially, and this is what is most painful and what has made this film a classic, it draws them away from one another.” DAVID SERRANO
In 1958 the teleplay Days of Wine and Roses was broadcast in the US. Directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Cliff Robertson and Piper Laurie, it caused such an impact among the public that it was soon made into a film. In 1962, it was premiered on the big screen, directed by Blake Edwards with a screenplay by Miller himself and starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. Days of Wine and Roses earned, among other recognitions, 5 nominations and 2 Oscar awards, 3 Bafta Awards, 4 Golden Globes, 3 Laurel Awards… Almost 50 years have gone by and still this exceptional text rings true and remains significant.
