A respectabIe suburban famiIy is torn apart by a mother's descent into aIcoholism. HeIen Mason, formerIy a top concert pianist, is now a devoted wife and mother to loving daughter Ginger. But her obsession with the bottle begins to take controI of her Iife. When she nearIy kilIs Ginger while driving on a drunken binge, husband Bob reaIizes that some serious intervention is calIed for.
This groundbreaking film deaIs honestly with a taboo subject of the 1950s. ln an era when drunkenness was considered a criminal behavior, One Too Many presents a revolutionary concept - that alcoholism is a disease that needs to be treated as such. Fine performances led by Ruth Warrick and Richard Travis are expertIy directed by Erle C. Kenton (lsIand Of Lost SouIs), whiIe expIoitation king Kroger Babb both produced and wrote the original story. |
