Query: Too Much Message

The Lost Weekend is about an alcoholic would be novelist who loves drinking more than friends and family. Desperate to stop drinking but even more desperate to keep drinking he throws his life into a soul destroying lost weekend of booze, crime and madness.The acting is fantastic and you really feel the characters trying to cope with such self destruction. But I feel this film has dated somewhat. The Lost Weekend is a "message" film about the dangers of the bottle and it hits you on the head with it. Also the ending is not quite what you'd expect in a modern film on this subject. This film is not one of Wilder's best, and in my opinion is not a standout Academy Award Winner but is nevertheless a very good film and possibly a little ahead of its time.
