Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

An action-packed slog

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I am 18 years old, and I have never seen this movie, but I have heard A MILLION great reviews about it. The most that I've ever seen from it are short clips from the Dick Van Dyke Celebrity Profile on E!. But something that has really sparked my curiosity, and that is that everyone says that the ending is very "powerful" and "chilling". Could somebody please just pop me an e-mail and tell me what exactly happened at the end. Apparently, the song "Yesterday" is somehow involved, as well.I would really appreciate some enlightenment here. But if I ever had the opportunity to see this movie, I don't know if I would watch it. I just know it would break my heart. I mean, the first Dick Van Dyke movie I ever saw was Mary Poppins, for God's sake.

I saw this movie as a child. My mother insisted my brother and I watch it. My father is an alcoholic and has never recovered. I am now in recovery. This movie had an unbelievable impact on me as a child. I cried so very hard when I saw it, and as another person commented, I can not listen to the Beatles song "Yesterday" without thinking of that poor desperate soul. I need to see this movie!

This movie was my moment of clarity . If you haven't seen it, it is most difficult to locate . Dick Van Dyke should have received a Golden Globe and Emmy for this outstanding portrayal of a alcoholic spirialing out of control. This movie stayed with me for years and it will for anyone with a inkling he or she is a alcoholic .

Even though I haven't seen this movie since it was first shown in 1974 I still recall much of it vividly. Dick Van Dyke gives the performance of his life as an alcoholic, self-hating man who just can't accept the help he needs to get better. For anyone who has seen it, the last scene is just chilling and unforgettable. One of the best tv movies ever made.
