I don't know how to write about this. I have had experiences during my life dealing with alcoholics. It's a disease but it is also a killer of dreams and bodies. Tony Randall is quite the drunk. He has been a successful ad man who has functioned despite being cranked up all the time. His wife has put up with him. His colleagues have given him chance after chance. But eventually the you know what hits the fan. Of course, number one on the hit parade for alcoholics is to blame everyone else and not admit you have a problem. This is really hard to watch as this smug jerk makes no effort to help himself. I feel bad. After seeing "Requiem for a Dream" recently, which drags us through the pit of drug addiction, this just tacks on some more.
