Movie. 1950An extraordinary film by contemporary standards, happily charting the story of a happy drunk by showing his endless charm and immunity to any of the downsides of alcoholism. Such is the disconnect, it's hard to offer a proper critique of what happens on the screen - the imaginary rabbit is quite possibly dispensible, the drunk's family are desperate human beings and the role of the sanitarium flips between being sinister oppression to a force for societal good. Too distracting to watch on a modern critical level.
