Accurate depiction of an alcoholic and being married to one. You ever have Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly tell you about yourself?
Edited: I read some reviews and people are just as callous now as they were in the 50s 😭 y’all missed the point!

Grace Kelly is wonderful in this film, she deserved the Oscar win she got for this. William Holden is decent too. Unfortunately the rest of the film is just okay. Bing Crosby has a nice singing voice but isn’t anything special. I feel like this could’ve been done better. Worth watching for grace Kelly, but there’s better films that cover this subject matter.
