Movie Reviews of John Cheever's The Sorrows of Gin (Broadway Theatre Archive)
Movie Review: DAYS OF GIN
Summary: 4 Stars
Edward Herrmann and Sigourney Weaver play a young successful suburban couple who allow their daily consumption of cocktails to manipulate their lives. A Broadway Theatre Archive Series DVD, the drama never gets as drunkenly sordid as say, "The Days of Wine and Roses", or "Come Back, Little Sheeba", as the alcohol dependence here is subtle as it frays at the binds of family ties. Especially moving is the husband's ignorance of his young daughter's ( Mara Hobel in a fine juvenile performance), intolerance at the succession of household daycare workers who lose their jobs as it is discovered someone has been nipping at the sherry. The play, written by Wendy Wasserstein, is based on a short story by John Cheever.
