"Gotta say this is pretty edgy for something released during the 40’s, the scene in the hangover plaza at night scene was particularly still terrifying. So crazy that this won Best Picture. Nothing like a Heineken and a glass of Jack Daniel’s to go with an anti-alcohol movie!"
Derek Matzek
"Not my favourite Billy Wilder film, but still far above average. "

"One of the first films to treat alcoholism seriously."
