Miller's heartrending teleplay Days of Wine and Roses hit movie screens, it won critical raves and box-office success and shone brightly as a career highlight for its two Oscar -nominated stars, Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick, who play a couple caught in alcoholism's web. A San Francisco public-relations hotshot is a "social" drinker who never stops socializing. His vivacious wife starts drinking to keep him company. They live for good times.
