AWPL Classic Monday: The Lost Weekend (1945) Winner of 4 Oscars (Best Picture, Actor, Director and Screenplay), Billy Wilder's grim, realistic depiction of alcoholism stars Ray Milland as Don Birnam, a booze-dependent novelist suffering from writer's block; it follows Dan's devastatingly pathetic four-day drinking binge. Exteriors were done in New York City, including the infamous Bellevue Hospital; the interiors were shot in Hollywood, including an exact duplicate of the iconic P.J. Clarke's Saloon on Third Avenue and 55th Street. Not Rated: 1 hour 41 minutes.
