On this day in 1945, PARAMOUNT PICTURES released THE LOST WEEK-END. Directed by BILLY WILDER from a script by CHARLES BRACKETT, this harrowing tale of an alcoholic writer battling his disease and demons was a heart wrenching experience. Solid performances by RAY MILLAND, JANE WYMAN, HOWARD DaSILVA and FRANK FAYLAN make this WILDER classic still worth watching.
