YMMV / The Lost Weekend

• Adaptation Displacement: The film is more well known than the original novel by Charles R. Jackson, which was based on the author’s own experiences with alcoholism and writer’s block.
• Awesome Music: Miklos Rozsa's score for the film was notable for it being one of the first American films to use Theremin, which later populated the soundtrack to many a 1950s B-Movie.
• Nightmare Fuel: Don's DTs-fueled hallucination of a bat attacking a mouse in his apartment.
  • Don falling down the stairs is not too pretty either.
• One-Scene Wonder: Frank Faylen (best known as Ernie the cab driver in It's a Wonderful Life) as "Bim", the night nurse at Bellevue's drunk ward.
