"So let's sink another drink, 'cause it'll give me time to think, and if I had a chance, I'd ask the world to dance, and I'll be dancing with myself..." --Billy Idol, "Dancing With Myself".
Ray Milland at his BEST. As a Hopeless, seemingly, Alcoholic. Plays it likes he's been there. But I don't think he ever was. Mark of a great actor. Agreed this roars past "Leaving Las Vegas" this more real. Like the bar tender Nat who always called Ray 'Mr Boinham." nd Gloria..."Don't be reedick." for ridiculous:)
@Zol69tan LLV was not the same movie. The only movie that compares to this is "The Days of Wine & Roses". To me (10 years sober) LLV had little to do with alcoholism as much as it had to do with suffering.
why didn't the bartender 86 him? Didn't they do that then?

Powerful. Thought-provoking. Intense. And just a tad too realistic for my personal comfort. 8-)

This movie beats " leaving Las Vegas "by parsecs - because the casting is so much better.
Who botched the LLV lead role casting and why ?
That Cage guy was not good at all in the role - Elizabeth Shue should have been oscarized, not that silly Coppola's nephew !!
Ray Milland is so convincing in his performance - HIS performance was worth the Oscar.!!
