Jack Lemmon is the boozy PR man. Lee Remick is the teetotal secretary. He buys her a brandy. They’re hooked! They lose their jobs, have an unwanted baby and get stuck into the hard stuff. He reforms. She doesn’t. “You and I were a couple of drunks on the sea of booze, and the boat sank!” Hysterical yet Oscar-worthy stuff from Blake Edwards.
