1. RE: Days of Wine & Roses

Saw it last night for the first time. What can I say? Honest and gritty. A welcome relief from all the other crap that Hollywood is kicking out these days. I liked it....grittiness and all.

Though a little over-the-top what with the straight-jacket an all...still a very important point of contention still prevalent in today's society.

Honest and gritty. Would probably serve our society right to crank out a few more along these lines, to be sure.

5 stars.

Matter of fact, think I might even subscribe to the TCM monthly programming for what it is - $12.95 for a years subscription?

Well worth it if little gems like this one surface from time to time.........

Thanks for your post rdmtimp!
