The Morning After (1974) DVD Dick Van Dyke, Linda Lavin, Lynn Carlin, Don Porter and Sam Gilman

The Morning After 1974 DVD (Region One Playable in North America – The US, Canada, Mexico, etc.) TVM Color. Very rare offering with a new, lower price. Starring: Dick Van Dyke, Lynn Carlin, Don Porter, Linda Lavin, Sam Gilman, Joshua Bryant, Richard Derr, Robert Hover. Written by Richard Matheson, Jack B Weiner. Directed by Richard T. Heffron. Many consider this the most powerful film ever made about the devastating effects of alcoholism. Based on the best selling novel, Dick Van Dyke plays a successful public relations writer who has a serious drinking problem that threatens his marriage and life. He lies to his wife (Lynn Carlin), colleagues and family as his life descends into hellish ruin. Shortly before taking on this role, Van Dyke admitted he himself was an alcoholic and had been seeking treatment (one of the first celebrities to do so). He was nominated for an Emmy for Best Lead Actor in a Drama and this film is still shown in treatment centers today. The Vermont Movie Store
