devastating portrayal - great performance, 12 December 1998
9/10
Author: Jeff Meyerson from Brooklyn, NY, USA

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.
