Like his fellow deep-focus master Gregg Toland, John Seitz’s keen knowledge of film lab processes and film stocks allowed him to compose shots like this one from a phone booth, that holds focus all the way across the hotel lobby. #TheNoirCollective #TheLostWeekend

Petition the court to restore it after the watch.

#TheLostWeekend effortlessly conveys life’s mundane terrors. When Don overhears his potential in-laws lamenting his seeming lack of prospects, Milland beautifully reveals the fear, shame and inner torment of a well-meaning man who’s drowning in self-loathing. #TheNoirCollective

I had looked him up, marked him as a favourite and read some about him and was appreciating him on my own but I still DID NOT KNOW ALL OF THIS!!!
FABULOUS!!! 💜 🎞️🎥 🎬 🎆

That was interesting when she emphasized that early in the film!

I could imagine a lesser script using it in the conclusion.

In any case it did sound ahead of its time!

Just knowing you did makes me 😊.

I'm transfixed by the fashion here. 😵‍💫

As someone who was taken to the opera from a very young age, it's crazy to think of the aria Libiamo (Let's Toast) from La Traviata as drinking song that would trigger an alcoholic.

It's a meet-rude.

Getting triggered by prop drinks (water?)--interesting illustration of the addicted psyche.

Given Brackett & Wilder’s background writing screwball (e.g., Midnight, Ball of Fire, The Major and the Minor), perhaps it’s unsurprising that they give Don and Helen a meet-cute – a meet-cute that a thirsty Don uses to his advantage. #TheNoirCollective #TheLostWeekend

The character of Helen doesn’t exist in Jackson’s novel; Brackett and Wilder added her as an ally and love interest – but in particular, to speak to alcoholism as a disease rather than a moral failing, a position that even the AMA itself wouldn’t adopt until 1956. #TheNoirCollective #TheLostWeekend

#TheLostWeekend is probably the Wilder/Seitz collaboration that is closest to film noir’s roots in German Expressionism, as evidenced by the various hallucination sequences, done by veteran special effects man Gordon Jennings. #TheNoirCollective

I love that HIS flashback fade is HAZY

I remember when The Addams Family movie came out seeing an interview with the guy who played Thing. He was a professional magician. The dexterity of his finger movements got him the job above hand models, actors, etc. Milland's finger movements are agile like that. #TheLostWeekend #TheNoirCollective
