  Days of Wine and Roses (And Other Movie Themes) - Pat Boone - Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Pat Boone's lone album of great movie themes is an interestingly contrasted but well-balanced work that stands just a shade behind his handful of front-rank albums and is his most durable ballad album of the '60s.
If it is immoderate to characterize Days of Wine and Roses as "elegant," it is perfectly fitting to elect it as one of Boone's classiest albums and to affirm it free of discernible flaw or weakness.
Days of Wine and Roses is no more dated today than in 1963, the year of its issue.

Days of Wine and Roses is one film not to watch if you are melancholic by nature, as this tale of middle-class alcoholism rings very true.
Considering this came out in 1962, it must be regarded that a young woman, wholesome and kind, working as a secretary who transforms into a housewife who's parenting suffers for her rapt addiction to booze, who abandons and betrays those closest to her, was a striking and devastating vision.
The ending to Days of Wine and Roses is not only bleak, haunting and quiet, it's poetic.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Days of Wine and Roses
When the opportunity arose to make a film version of J. Miller's powerful TV drama Days of Wine and Roses, actor Jack Lemmon suggested that the studio hire Blake Edwards (according to Edwards, that is) rather than the Playhouse 90 production's original director, John Frankenheimer.
Lemmon's overdone wackiness is mitigated by a few great speeches ("You and I were a couple of drunks on a sea of booze and the boat sank") and Remick modulates a descent into sluttiness very well.
Meanwhile, the DVD version of Days of Wine and Roses has the distinction of offering one of the worst audio commentary tracks of all time.

 Alcoholics Anonymous - Movies
Days of Wine and Roses earned a total five Academy Award nominations and a Best Song Oscarfoor its haunting Henry Mancini/Johny Mercer title tune.
Some critics have scoffed at the movie's breezy, formulaic portrait of 27-year-old boozer and pill-popper Gwen Cummings (Bullock), but this smooth-running star vehicle does for Bullock what Erin Brockovich did for Julia Roberts, focusing her appeal in a substantial role without taxing the limits of her talent.
As played by Bullock, Gwen is an alcoholic in denial whose latest bender with boozer boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West) ruins the wedding of her sister (Elizabeth Perkins) and lands her in a month-long rehab program with the requisite gang of struggling drunks and junkies.
