The Lost Weekend (Paramount, 1945). Insert (14" X 36"). The ruinous effects of alcoholism are seen through the story of Don Birnam (Ray Milland), a dissolute writer whose brother Wick (Phillip Terry) and girlfriend (Jane Wyman) are desperate to help him remain sober. In spite of their best efforts, Don falls off the wagon, spiraling ever deeper into a pit of alcohol and despair. According to director Billy Wilder, the alcohol industry offered Paramount $5 million not to release the film, which the studio wisely refused, as the movie went on to become a huge success, garnering four Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Milland), Best Director (Wilder), and Best Writing (Charles Brackett and Wilder). This highly desirable insert had staple holes in the image area, small edge tears, extra horizontal folds, and a corner bend in the top left. Professional restoration has rendered these small flaws virtually invisible, returning a like-new appearance to this classic piece. Very Fine- on Paper. Shipping: Flat Material, Large (view shipping information) Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:28008 Winning Notification and Billing: After the FINAL session in this auction is complete, Heritage will send e-mail and snail mail invoices. This process normally takes several days.
