131: Temu Cary Grant

November 13, 2025 · 59 min

Show notes

Billy Wilder tells the story of a man’s (Ray Milland) alcoholic weekend, and the lies he tells to family and friends about his drinking. Surprisingly gritty and emotional for the era, and photography that heightens the mood. Also, Jane Wyman, Philip Terry, and Frank Faylen again.

The Lost Weekend

Host Shelly Brisbin with Nathan Alderman and Micheline Maynard.
