ada the leading man is my tpye
Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
poe426 Uncompromising and with without a doubt one of the most downbeat endings in the history of Movies, THE MORNING AFTER is about as powerful as they come. Richard Matheson deserves his share of the credit, to be sure, but it's leading man Dick Van Dyke's tour de force performance as a man determined to destroy himself that makes this one one for the ages. (Lynn Carlin, an underrated actress I've always liked, deserves mention as well as the long-suffering spouse.) Anyone who's ever had to deal with Alcoholism in any way (And who hasn't...?) will appreciate the frankness of the filmmakers. I know I did. While I wouldn't recommend watching this one while you're depressed, I WOULD highly recommend it to Anyone and Everyone with an Addiction.
pjwpellegrino I am a HUGE fan of Mr. Van Dyke, and this is my favorite performance. I remember watching this movie in the '70's on TV, and have been looking for a copy ever since. Dick Van Dyke is not only a genius comedic actor, but he is also a wonderfully moving dramatic actor as well. If anyone knows where I can purchase a copy of this movie, please let me know at [email protected]. I have been waiting for years!!! Mr. Van Dyke reminds me so much of my father, and I have been watching his shows since I was a little girl. A couple of years ago, I received a DVD of a few of the old "Dick Van Dyke Show", and I watch it over and over. PLEASE email me if you know how to obtain a copy of "The Morning After", as I have been searching for this movie forever. Thanks so much, Paula Pellegrino [email protected]
wuulfgarr I also saw this tv movie only once during its original airing. I was only 10 years old at the time. I regret to say that much of the content has since faded from memory. But don't think that has any reflection on the movie, only my memory! To this day I have not forgotten the impact that Dick Van Dyke's performance had on me. His portrayal of an alcoholic steadily descending into the deep abyss of his disease has stayed with me for almost thirty years. My first exposure to this illness came with this film. And it haunts me to this day. Not to mention the fact that I not once since seeing this movie have I been able to listen to the Beatles' 'Yesterday' without feeling a small jab in my heart because of it.
califkid15 This movie was my moment of clarity . If you haven't seen it, it is most difficult to locate . Dick Van Dyke should have received a Golden Globe and Emmy for this outstanding portrayal of a alcoholic spirialing out of control. This movie stayed with me for years and it will for anyone with a inkling he or she is a alcoholic .
