Days of Wine and Roses (1962)
A story of an alcoholic (Jack Lemmon) who lures his wife Kirstein (Lee Remick, above) into the drinking wife.
As everything collapses — endangering the life of their young daughter — he finally kicks booze with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous and a dedicated sponsor. But he struggles to pull his wife out of the chasm he helped open.
This is a brutally sad movie about the trap of co-dependency.
