Saw this movie in 1995 for the first time. I was actually only a few weeks sober. I never drank again. Not because of the movie but because it encouraged me to learn about the history of AA. Sure the movie was a bit cheesy is parts, but that is okay. I love movies. What a cast. Richard Egan, Julie London, Troy Donahue, Walter Matthau, Ann Doran, Arthur O'Conell.
I don't rate movies on how well they are made. Did the movie do it's job. If it did, I think it is a good movie. That's it. I obtained a copy via Ebay years ago. Everyone that has seen it has been very moved. It gets to the heart of AA. Dr Bob and Bill W figured it out. One alcoholic working with another. This is the heart of this movie.
